WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE?

As y'all know, I HATED the recent five-issue Marvel comic adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. So when I saw their next Austen-inspired project (an adaptation of Sense and Sensibility, which ties with Emma for the title of My Least Favorite Austen Novel), my hopes were not high... until I opened the book, and saw that the artwork was done by Sonny Liew, the Eisner-nominated comic artist who did the art My Faith in Frankie. WHAT? Why did Pride and Prejudice get artwork that looked like a hybrid of Marvel's most generic superheroines and Barbie, and Sense and Sensibility get Liew? WHO MAKES THESE CALLS?!?
