Steve McNiven was announced as the artist on the upcoming high-profile The Return of Wolverine series. And he has been showing off his very-Barry-Windsor-Smith-influenced new style for the project.
But Bleeding Cool gets the word that it won't be the only art style seen in the series, and that artist Declan Shalvey has been drafted in as a co-artist working on the series.
