I’m posting it here on a separate thread so the discussion of X-FACTOR #3 can remain focused on that issue rather than going off the rails.
The report is correct: Issue #4 of X-FACTOR will be Ryan’s last. This is entirely his decision. Andy and I would love for him to stay on, and Ryan reportedly loves the book, but he has taken himself off it because–I presume, since I haven’t spoken to him–the monthly schedule is just too problematic for him. He is, however, going to be continuing doing the covers.
Dennis Calero, who I think is doing an excellent job, will be doing issues 5 and 6, and Ariel Olivetti is doing issue 7 (the one that addresses the death of Banshee.) An announcement of an artist beyond that point would be premature, although Andy is considering several possibilities, all of whom I believe would be great for the series.
As for Ryan, it was far too short an association for my taste, and I’m certainly hoping to work with him again.
