I was curious if anyone else had an opinion of the interior art for the upcoming series? I really like the premise and the cover art, but I just saw the interior art today and I have to say I'm slightly underwhelmed.   |

Cap,
Javier Pulido's art is probably not going to be to everyone's taste, that's for sure!
Admittedly it's not typical super-hero art, but as the book is taking a more humorous path (apparently a tone somewhere between the Byrne and Slott runs), it should mesh nicely with the story-line. It's obviously too early to tell how good or bad the book will be until Wednesday, so this comparison may go right down the drain, but when Hawkeye first came out, there were some folks not thrilled with the quirky, spare art style of David Aja, but who were eventually won over by the perfect marriage of the words and pictures.
As a fan of "quirk", I'm very happy that Marvel doesn't seem to have a house style, but is welcoming to artists in as broad a range as from individualists such as Michael Allred, Emma Rios, and Filipe Andrade, to the "regular" super-heroic stylings of a Mike Deodato, Jr.!

I'm definitely enjoying all the varied art styles that have emerged from the Marvel Now launch. Overall I like the art Pulido is doing, but his character design for She-Hulk, primarily her face, is rather disturbing and all over the place lol. |

I think it's worth waiting to see what the tone of the book is. If the book is light hearted and has a good humour to it, I think that art style will fit it nicely.
I totally agree that it is quite unusual, though!

Cap, In looking back over the preview art, I almost wonder if the "super-heroing" page is a "comic within a comic", which might explain the differences in Jen's face? |

I'm not excited by what I see here but I'll pick it up anyway. What we see here is totally out of context. I'm still excited to read the book.

Wow just read it and i absolutely loved it!
Soule's writing is so great, really funny and you can tell the guy knows what he's talking about, Pulido's art takes a little getting used to but for the most part was good and it fits the story.
Jen is just such a great female character, one of my favorites in comics.

The only thing for me was the art, it'll take some getting used to but other than that the story was amazing. The characters faces came off a little odd to me.

I was a bit underwhelmed by it to be honest. Not a huge fan of the art style, that said I'll probably give it a couple issues to see where the story goes, but wasn't overly excited by the first issue.
