I hate the revolving door creator phenomenon.
Case in point: If Frank Quitely had drawn every issue of Morrison's New X-Men, I would be snapping up the TPBs as fast as Marvel could release them. I'd be camping outside the store for them. I wouldn't even care if Quitely couldn't maintain a monthly schedule, I'd just wait for as long as it took to tell the story. Quality is more important than quantity.
But we get shitty fill-ins (don't get me started on bloody Igor Kordey) instead of consistent art, and so the last couple of TPBs hold little interest for me. Which is a shame, because the story probably kicks arse.
The Ultimates has trouble sticking to a monthly schedule, but it's worth the wait for art the quality of Hitch's. So when the second TPB comes out, I'll be more than happy to spend my cash on it.
