In the last half an hour or so, Marvel Comics issued a press release announcing the return of formerly DC-exclusive artist Carlos Pacheco (who did some great work for DC on Green Lantern and Superman) to the House of Ideas. This’ll be his first Marvel work in more than five years.
Along with the illustration below, of Pacheco’s variant cover for an upcoming issue of Secret Warriors, Marvel discusses at length what DC would call the “legacy” heritage of the characters depicted in that series and even throws out a (shockingly positive) Ghost Rider film reference. Check it out here.

I think I prefer him over at DC. I’m enjoying him on Final Crisis.

Welcome Home Carlos…now marvel put him on an avengers or cosmic hero book stat!
And O by far his best work was Avengers Forever. Still to this day the best MAXI story that ever explained away dangling continuity in any comic universe.

Wonder what series we’ll see him on.

“Welcome home”?
Do we all work for Marvel? I’ll never get fandom.
Anyway, good for Carlos on the exclusive. I think Marvel will be announcing Eaglesham’s exclusive soon, too.

A great artist, I look forward to seeing his work especially with the great cast of characters that are in the Marvel Universe.
