I have to say, when Ed Benes is handling the art chores, BoP is one of my favorite books on the stands. Simone has a great ear for dialogue, and coupled with Benes' dynamic pencils you have one fun book. I was kind of hoping Greg Land could have stuck around as cover artist, but Jason Pearson is no slouch. But what's up with Benes? I know the title went bi-weekly for a while and Ron Adrian had to step in to pinch hit, but I want to see Benes on a regular basis. Any thoughts on the War Games aftermath and how it's going to affect other books?
