^COMPLETELY true now that you mention it!! Kinda tapped moneywise currently, hope the CBS doesn't sell out of Heralds issues before I get there next week!

The Snjegberg similarity is dead-on and like Lash said, now that you mention it, I can totally see it.
That's a very good thing IMO, as Snjegberg is a superb artist whose art style is different from the rest of the industry to make him stand out. Loved his Starman work something fierce, and I also loved his various things over the years that pop up in cool places, like his Legion story during DnA's run.
Don't you kind of wish Emma would leave the X-Men comics and join Patsy and Photon somewhere else in an ongoing? I think it would benefit the X-comics (where she's become hugely annoying) and it would be cool.

Picked up #2 and #3 and I am still enjoying this miniseries quite a bit. Even though the amount of FF within the #3 took some time away from the rest of the ladies, it at least led to some great one-liners with the Thing. Immonen really has a knack for one-liners.
One complaint I have is that while I am really enjoying the art by Tonci Zonjic (as previously mentioned), I noticed a few pages each issue are done by James Harren, likely to complete the weekly schedule. The Harren art I find quite distracting and a bit ugly. It makes me wonder why the heck they did this as a weekly in the first place?
Next trip to the CBS I'll get the final two issues. It would be awesome if this could lead to a Hellcat/Photon series with various Marvel ladies joining them every so often. I particularly like Agent Brand & Emma Frost here. Val too is great but she hopefully has bigger plans in the MU to come now that she's going to be a primetime player on Brubaker's Secret Avengers.

Did anyone finish this miniseries? I thought it was a pretty solid story and am glad I bought it.
I loved the Tonci Zonjic artwork, but I have to say, I realyl didn't like the Emma Rios and James Harren stuff, so it felt a bit disjointed when their scenes came in.
Immonen writes a great Patsy Walker and I was glad to see her have a big role. She also writes Sue Storm very well, and in the interview currently appearing in many Marvel comics, she mentions how Sue grew into one of her favorites. It shows.
I did think the "return" of Supernova was a bit of a selfish reason for Immonen to do this miniseries, so if someone wants to use that as criticism, I can see why. Personally, I think all stories are based on somewhat selfish reasons on the parts of writers, so I'm cool with it.
This wasn't perfect, and perhaps a bit too FF-heavy at times, but it was a fun little miniseries. Both Emma Frost and Agent Brand were much more likeable here than they have been elsewhere.
PS - I re-edited the title of this thread back to its original title since the Heralds mini is over.

I think the story has been okay but I think the art went downhill with 2-4.
Honestly, I won't boo-hoo if I never get number 5.
ME TOO! did they not print very many number 5s? I just want to know what happened since issue 4 was kinda jumping the rails ....

For those not in the know, there's a Hellcat/Gambit story in issue 4 of X-Men: To Serve and Protect written and penciled by the Immonens! Charming, if a bit of a random tale.
That Hellcat costume Lash posted above is amazing.
