Chris Claremont is a far superior writer to Marv Wolfman, despite the latter's obvious love for Burroughs and sincere effort to mimic ERB's writing style. To be honest, I've never really cared much for anything Wolfman's written outside of TOMB OF DRACULA. George Perez carried most of the weight on NEW TEEN TITANS. JOHN CARTER really improves once Wolfman is gone.

Yes, the art is better on the Wolfman run, but Ernie Colon and Mike Vosburg do serviceable work. But oh how looking at the covers John Byrne and George Perez did for the series makes we wish we got a couple of issues or at least an annual by one of those two!
