BREAKING INTO COMICS THE MARVEL WAY is two issues of short stories featuring works by a full dozen new artists, all of them new to the Marvel ranks. While I did feel that this was a great idea, the sad thing I realized was that in a few of the stories the excellent art entirely surpassed the substandard writing efforts from their 'veteran writers'. It just begs the questions: Did they not feel that the fresh talent was worth writing a good story for? or Were they just 'phoning it in' because their careers aren't in as much jeopardy as the artists' are?
Regardless of what else was going on with the other writers and artists collaborations, this particular short episode seemed like a perfect match. The art style seems to mesh well with both the character of our favorite mercenary, as well as with what's going on in the story.
