Unrelated to the issue at hand, but I just found out that Bendis, Van Lente, and Nguyen all worked on Halo comics. That is some serious star power there.

Yeah, too bad 343i didn't pay the full fee. Seems like they went with the lowest quality possible to save $$$.

No, it wouldn't have been the price. Bendis is writing ~6 books and is a Marvel exclusive, and Van Lente is currently shepherding the Valiant and Gold Key reboots along with some other stuff. Nguyen is a DC exclusive, I think. They are either exclusive or writing a massive load of books. I would suggest Charles Soule as a writer, because he writes great character and Sci-Fi work (check out Swamp Thing by him), but he is probably reaching his limit too.
