Personally I thought Texeira was one of the worst artists from GR's 90's series. But his work on the current series has been MUCH better.
not even! when tex added the pencils to his inks (#13, I believe. first appearance (and maybe only) of Snowblind, also featuring painted cover by Tex) is when that book really began smoking! that near year period from that issue up to about what. . .#20 or 21? whenever Ron Wagner took over. . .was seriously the high point of that series and head and shoulders above anything since.
Javier Salteres is a competent artist and played a key role in the 90's redesign of the character, but anything Tex has done on his own has always been much better quality.
I'm not exactly an art fan and my GR collection is packed away but I'm pretty sure Texeria was on till the end of #24. Andy Kubert is my favorite GR artist. And Snowblind appeared 4 or 5 times (he returned in issue 21 and 23-24. He also was brought back by Hellgate towards the end of the series).
