Well that was fast.

No sooner has Kevin Maguire told people that he is off Justice League 3000, with the first issue now being redrawn by Howard Porter, mentioning that he turned down a Brian Bendis X-Men comic for this project, than Brian Bendis announces that Maguire will now be drawing Guardians Of The Galaxy #10. Bendis posted;

As I have made it very clear on this tumbler I think artists like Kevin are a national treasure and should be treated as such by publishers and readers alike. as Matt fraction said at dinner last night he is probably one of the most influential comic artists of this generation but doesn't get enough credit for it. you can see his influence in a lot of places.

we have been talking about working together on an off for a while but the stars never aligned. I am not exactly sure what happened to him this week but I would like to thank whoever it was that made it possible for Kevin to join me on guardians of the galaxy number 10. which I hope will be the first of many projects together.

I may have just announced something I wasn't supposed to :-)

And naturally we're happy to pass it on, Brian. Say, the Guardians were originally from the 31st century as well, weren't they?
