I really like the art in this book..... except for the t&a.

Samson appears to me to be a lot like Solar...starting off really slow.

FWIW:

Jim's got more recent experience with Magnus (I believe this is his personal favorite) and Solar. I think he had some conceptual stuff that never saw the light of day at VALIANT with Turok. But I do not think he has the experience with Samson, which is why I believe it is coming along more slowly.

He has the "Valiant" barbarian with Turok. So, what to do with Samson?

Samson's in the post apocalyptic future though so things look like they are gonna change real quick like, this preview is a hint of this..

This looks great. I'm glad we're starting to see a steady stream of releases now. With the exception of Turok 2 and Magnus, the books haven't been that far behind. It seems like those were slow artist problems too... from Shooter's blog:

Some of it is my fault, I guess. But, generally, I've stayed ahead of the artists -- that is, they usually weren't waiting for script. It hasn't been hard to stay ahead of them. One artist took four months to draw an issue of an every-six-weeks book. At this moment, however, I have THREE artists waiting for script, so excuse me, I have to get back to work. : )

Thanks for the post Ryan!
I'm glad it's been addressed and hopefully things will get back on track here soon!
The quality has been great but the delays have resulted in a loss of momentum.

If memory serves, Samson takes place somewhere after 2200 AD, but before 4000 AD.
