  NEW X-MEN, Old Art
Newsarama has an interview with Marc Silvestri about his upcoming stint on NEW X-MEN (issues 151-154).  There are, of course, plenty of sample images.  All I know of Silvestri's art from his 80s run on UNCANNY was what I saw in the X-Men: Inferno TPB (which you can still win - click here for details!) but his "new" art looks like an unholy union between the styles of Jim Lee and Rob Liefeld:  Angular faces with plenty of scratch marks (Lee) combined with little to nothing in the way of backgrounds (Liefeld) equals me once again pining for NXM's supposedly "regular" artist, Frank Quitely.
