>I get it, he once wrote about a guy who wanted to fuck dogs; that doesn't tell me anything about his writing ability
It tells you he thought about a guy who wanted to be allowed to fuck his dog and thought "That sounds like a good story", which does in fact tell you about him as a writer.

He completely ruined the ending of Hickman's Ultimates run and shit things up pretty badly afterward.

He blew up the Kree Home planet and ended the story with Kitty Pryde becoming GOD.

Yeah, the end of that storyline was a bad place to start

He had an X-team with Puck and Spiral on it and made it BORING.

I'm not sure he did. Hickman has never written a satisfying conclusion to a story in his entire career, irrespective of collaborators.

He blew the Kree plñanet for Bendis. He's the one using that for his Guardians book. As a matter of fact, all that event was Bendis doing and Humphries got the credit because bendis wanted him to start getting some accolades to his name.

He is bland and inoffensive at best, which in my opinion makes his name on a title more damning than someone of variable quality like Aaron. With Aaron you have a chance of something being good if it's in his wheelhouse, Humphries the best you can get is Avengers A.I., which wasn't BAD, just not above middling.

Having said that if you're cool with Arkon getting replaced by a generic spunky sidecut teenage girl, go for Weirdworld regardless. I read Elektra just for Del Mundo, and it was definitely worth it. He's one of my favorite artists in the biz and sometimes it's worth getting a book with a bland writer for the art.

He looks like Sam Hyde is disguise.

I would take bland Uncanny X-Force over that piece of stinking shit that was Wolverine and the X-Men any day. That book ruined characters.

Does anyone ever bring it up in interviews? Isn't that what got him the gig at Marvel? I want to know what was going through the artist's head too. Was he that hard up for work or was he some sort of deviant that redrew the pages to include different breeds of dogs?

I remember in one podcast once he said that Axel loved that book and hired him right away. Bendis also said once he loved it.

Captain America trundling along on his stupid little hover bike with his stupid flag always looks so dumb

Yeah, I cant really see a satisfying way they could have beat Reed without him acting like a giant retard in some way
