...Is Jeph Loeb and Joe Madureira...I tottally didn't see that one coming.
Ok, people, those of you who read it, what's your take on this?
The current v2 is rocking house beyond mortal ken, and seems to have all the makings of becoming legendary. Much thanks to the tone, look and feel that writer Mark Millar and artist Bryan Hitch has managed to create.
Now, I enjoyed Loebs Superman/Batman arcs, "Supergirl from Krypton" and "Absolute Power" (the current one is crap tho), and I've heard that his "Batman: The long Halloween" is quite good, but he doesn't exactly seem to have the style necessary for the world of the Ultimates to me?
And Joe Madureira... this is the biggest concern to me. I enjoyed his art-style very much when I was younger, but I've grown older now, and no longer see anything astonishing about it, plus the little fact that he's been gone for years from the comic-scene, doing video-game art, so he's rustier than a broken old traktor.
At first, I did the natural reaction, and banged my head against all the walls in the vicinity

Now, what do you brave and bold at TransFans, who reads Ultimates, feel about this recent change of events?

Apparently there's preview-art of Mad's in this months Wizard #168, does anyone have that? And can perhaps give some thoughts, and maybe just maybe, a small scan?
EDIT: This just in. Some of the preview art has been posted. On the Allspark. Immense thanks to Darkstream of The Allspark Forums for posting this. Legal or not.
