I think I am going to be skipping any books outside of what I already for Manifest Destiny.

[Jango Fett]

Well I just read 500. It was pretty good. I absolutely hate Greg Land so it was annoying switching back to his art every two pages.

[Keith]

I am just now starting to have an issue with Greg Land. And the reason all comes down to Pixie and Joe Q's comments about her. I am fine with characters growing up. (And apparently Joe Q is also if the character is not named Peter Parker). But I am not big on characters going from looking like they are pushing 8 in one issue and the next looking like they're barely legal in the next with zero explanation.

[Jango Fett]

I know I hate that. And Cyclop's haircut changes every panel. Its really annoying. Not to mention: the obvious tracing, everyone smiling in every panel no matter what is happening, and Im almost 100% sure for Beast he just traces pictures of lions and changes the outlines. I HATE Greg Land. Used to think his art was "pretty" but then I discovered the horrible truth.
