Armorclads: An Orderly Transition

 

A page from Armorclads #1

In Armorclads #1, we met our team of hardworking heroes known as the Ironclads. In addition to writers J. J. O'Connor and Brian Buccellato, this was due to the efforts of penciler Manuel Garcia, Raul Fernandez, and Rex Lokus.

Overseeing the team's efforts was editor David Wohl, who formerly edited Top Cow series The Darkness and Witchblade. Unfortunately, he left before Armorclads came out. Valiant replaced him with editor Rob Levin.

As the series progressed, Valiant announced that Armorclads had grown from four to five issues. With Armorclads #3, Miguel Sepulveda stepped in to assist penciler Manuel Garcia. In Armorclads #4, Miguel took over sole penciling duties, while Hi-Fi replaced Rex Lokus as colorist.

Often, a difference in a penciler or colorist's style can be glaringly obvious. Editor Rob Levin is to be congratulated for extending this exciting series, and keeping the art and story moving forward in seamless fashion. 

March on, Armorclads!
