Yeah, Avengers Forever-and FF-made me a Pacheco fan for life! I'd like to see him do a good long run on the right Marvel book.

By the time "Camelot Falls" finally ended, Renato Guedes -- who had been covering for both Pacheco and Adam Kubert on the Superman books -- was hired to take over full-time.

I can fault DC and Marvel for a lot of things, especially in the last two years. But not giving a high-profile monthly book to an artist who struggles with deadlines? That's one decision of theirs I'm in complete agreement with.

I was not aware that he had deadline issues. Maybe it was just on his Superman run. Also, some artists are not able to keep up with a monthly schedule. Maybe he should be given high profile projects like graphic novels or the next cross-over.
