Gigolo, take a good look at the cover. It says Liefield. How can you expect timeliness? Word has it they're going to bring in Kordey to do super-fast fill-ins.
Seriously though, you have to respect the enormous editorial pressures involved in try to unify YEARS of CHUD continuity in one story. I mean, is Werbal supposed to recognize the many revamps of the "SP" movement? Which one is supposed to be canonical? Now, if we start getting 5 or 6 inkers per page, we'll know something is up on the art end, but for now, I say assume the end result will be worth the wait.
