What has Ordway done?

Hi Gang,

Well I've just read JLA #95, and wow, what was Ordway thinking, gee, how to bury John's pencils with heavy handed styled inks. Now I usually love the stuff Ordway does but this is in my mind too over the top. He stamps his style way to much on these pencils. Why, oh why can't inkers stay more in touch with what's on the page. This may sound harsh but I wanna see Byrne, not Ordway over what could just have been Byrne layouts.
We've seen some of the lovely pencils.
Just had to get this off my chest. Sorry Guys.
All the best,
Peter aka vanullis

I may be the only person on these boards that likes Ordway's stuff over JB. I think of it as just another flavor of both artists. A little Byrne, a little Ordway. I like seeing differnt combos. Besides, JB has about a billion comics available where its all Byrne all the time. A little change is nice.
