Is Livio like 10 dollars to hire or something? (Wouldn't be surprised with how cheap IDW is and their treatment of Alex Milne)
He can be great at making covers but when he has to make a bunch of pages in the actual book his flaws show big time.
A comic book could have the greatest plot in man kind and I still wouldn't read it if it had horrendous art.
Livio gets work because he has a great relationship with the IDW staff and he's reliable and came make deadlines. While I'm not a fan of his work I will commend him on his passion. Plenty of artists and writers run with their tails between their legs for getting $#+% on by fandoms and never come back, Livio actually tries and has improved his art with every issue.
And I know there's plenty that will always say "I'll take a delayed book with better art over this" well this is a company and they need reliable artists to make the deadlines to keep it up.
Also IDW isn't cheap. They pay their people quite well and also have to pay for the licenses they have. Hasbro isn't giving them all their IP, they have to pay for them.
Back in 2005 Dreamwave owed Hasbro $500,000 in licensing fees alone for less than year so you can imagine 12 years later what IDW has to pay. Cheap? Not even.
