    Comic book artists do only covers all the time. Then they leave the interior art to someone else, someone less talented. It gets people picking up the book. But for someone like me, who hates being deceived... it's problematic at best.

    And now, it is official: http://www.marvel.com/catalog/?id=11695

    Richard Isanove is doing the pencils. Not Jae. Just like Dark Tower: Sorcerer.

    This really chaps my chaps! If Jae is gone for the series, I'm pissed!

    I'm pretty sure that you can be guaranteed that there will be variants. Sucks that we're losing Jae...

    We don't know for sure he's out of the whole arc, do we?

    Yes, there will be variant and sketches... I will see where I can find the article that said that... however, I don't recall seeing that Jae will be off the comic.

    On the other hand... if they go the way of the Stand comics - the same cover for regular and sketch, I will not be happy.

    For sure artists do covers only - the Stand being a great example. Lee Bermejo does the covers, Mike Perkins the interior art and variant covers.

    Honestly, I don't want to lose Jae. I love his style and I love his asthetic.

    I didnt see either that Jae was off. Where does that info come from?
    Who will be working on it then?

    Wondering if it will affect the designs of characters... and all in the end

    Check out the link in Glass's post above. According to the blurb there Richard Isanove will be doing all the art rather than just the colours he did before. Of course it could be a misprint, but considering he is listed for The Sorcerer too, that seems unlikely.

    Wondering if it will affect the designs of characters... and all in the end
    If it's true then sure there'll be differences, but i'd imagine the overall look for the main characters will be similar. The new artist might even emulate the original style.

    As for me, much as I like Jae Lee's style, I don't mind another artist having a go as long as they're good.

    Apparently Isanove did the art for the cover of the Sorcerer too. You can judge that for yourself here.

    I don't mind them having someone new. I wonder if the dismal reception that Treachery has received played into the decision at all--from a financial standpoint, I mean. I'm sure Jae Lee doesnt come cheap.

    If they had decided to go with a different artist for each arc I would have been fine with it but we are half way thru the series I will be disappointed if the rest isn't done by Jae.

    We also don't know why the change (assuming there is a change) and it might be Jae's decision. Next time I talk to Albert Moy I will see if I can find out anything.

    Yeah, I see that it's been reported that Richard Isanove will be doing the art for the new arc.

    I didn't see anything about the covers though, so I'm going with the assumption that Jae is going to be doing the cover and the sketch variant - at least until I hear differently.

    Dave / Oy - if you could get some info from Albert Moy, that would be great.

    I also asked David / Wiz if he could get some info from Jae himself.

    Gotta comment here - Richard Isanove is no slouch, he's a great artist.

    I'm sure Jae will do all of the covers for the series, even though he won't do the interior art. And I doubt we'll have sketch variants from Jae for the rest of the series since those sketch variants are merely panels taken from the interior art he was doing. Without him doing the interior art, where will the sketch variants come from? I doubt he will create a sketch variant just for the sake of having a sketch variant.

    As for Richard, he's a fantastic colorist! But we'll have to wait and see how good of a penciller he is. It looks like Marvel will hire an inker for him. That inker may help Richard's pencils if they hire a good inker. We'll see.

    I've noticed that they tend to separate the art duties a lot in American comics. i.e. Pencils and inks. They sometimes to that on Britis publications too, but in most of the art I've seen in 2000 AD, the artist does both (i.e. ink their own pencils).

    Since Isanove is renowned for his inking/colouring, I reckon he will do both.

    Isanove is a very talented guy, for sure.

    I am so curious as to why Jae isn't going to be doing the DT books anymore ( or at least not this arc ) ... his artwork is so detailed and precise and ... I'm so comfortable with his "versions" of Roland and his Ka-Tet.

    Default Guide to Gilead

    I just talked to my comic book guy and he said the new date for The Dark Tower: Guide to Gilead is April 8. He also said that's the new date for the first issue of Sorcerer.

    He said that last week it had been scheduled for April 1, and it got pushed back to the 8th. I don't know where the February 25 date came from.

    It was listed on Marvel's site this week that the Guide Book and the #6 variants would be released on the 25th. None of that happened. The variants (I learned today) will be out next week. Strange.

    Thanks for the update on the Guide Book.
