yendiCaptain Marvel, one of the few mainstream Marvel books I'm still reading, is wrapping up with issue 25. But I've got to admit, I like Peter David's attitude towards it, especially his description of the final issue;
Given carte blanche to wrap the series with #25, I started telling editor Andy Schmidt the most outlandish notions for a story I’d ever come up with. To my astonishment, he kept saying “Okay. That sounds good.” I then said, “But there’s only one artist on the planet who can possibly make it work, and that’s Keith Giffen.” Without blinking, Andy said, “Lemme call him.” Lo and behold, Keith Giffen is penciling issue #25, entitled “Exit Strategy.” On the one hand it’s completely demented; on the other hand, every single aspect of the book is resolved.
As many of you know, I'm a fan of Giffen's pencils from his Legion days.
And since PAD will be writing a Hulk mini for Marvel, I won't be too upset.
