When our favurites are replaced


Recently I was reading Ultimate Spider-man from issue 101-117 and I love the artwork what Mark Bagley did, but 110 was his last issue, from that a new artist started to do the drawing. It was a certain type of feeling that I felt, a kind of mix to tell the truth. I was a bit disappointed because I loved Bagley's work but I also understood that it was his choice to leave the series and that has to be respected. I also was excited what the new pencilist (Stuart Imonnen), will bring to the series. And I have to admit I am statisfied with his work, he did a really good job. He kind of gave the series a new style, recreated the old charachters in a way the even I, a big fan of Bagley, am pleased with.
I began with this story to introduce the situation what my second entry is about. We all know this: in a series one or more of our favourites have been replaced. This can be either another person or if it's a TV series it can be another actor, or just another's voice. In the case I have described earlier I had been through this with a positive ending. But this is not always the case. Sometimes we get about just the opposite of it and it can be really annoying.
I also posted a picture which shows the artworks of both artists who I wrote about. These are the drawings of both artists of Peter Parker and Spider-man.
So I am really interested what you think about this phenomena, enjoy and comment ;)
