Well, sure, Shanower made Oz his own back in the 80s, AFAIC. Those GNs from First are treasured gems in my collection.
That said, I think "more than adequate" is a gross injustice to Skottie Young, as his almost Impressionistic style continues to wow me (yes, I'm aware a lot of people disagree)
I wouldn't mind if Young handled the art for ALL the remaining Oz adaptations. (And I really don't want Shanower distracted from his AGE OF BRONZE. It's slow enough as it is already)
BTW, have any of you two gents ever read Christopher Golden's BLOODSTAINED OZ? That novella managed to offend all the Oz purists, even those who didn't have a problem with Ryman's WAS, for instance. Needless to say, highly recommended.
I have all of Shanower's Oz OGNs including the IDW collection.  Didn't mean that I was displeased with Young; actually, I've been quite happy with his art on Oz.  I agree:  if he could stay on art duties for Oz, while Shanower continues with AoB, that would be a win-win.  Can't say that I've read Golden's nove.  I'll look it up.
