A couple of months ago, Becky Cloonan stepped down from the art duties of MacGyver:
Fugitive Gauntlet due to a severely over scheduled workload - and the
team behind the comic started a search for a replacement across the globe that included
Twitter, Facebook and comic websites.
"The response was incredible," said Tony Lee, co-writer of the miniseries,
"and the amazing thing was that pretty much every person that applied and drew a
concept for us was a massive fan of the show."
With the winner decided by a judging panel including MacGyver series creator
Lee David Zlotoff and Image Publisher Eric Stephenson, in the end Irish artist Will Sliney
was given the position. An already internationally established artist, Sliney is no
stranger to licensed comics, having already worked on Farscape for BOOM!
Studios and Star Wars: The Clone Wars in the UK for Panini.
A lifelong MacGyver fan who has named the iconic character as one of his 'Eighy
Awesome Eighties Action Heroes', an ongoing art challenge he has on his blog at http://sliney.blogspot.com/,
Sliney will work with the creative team in redesigning MacGyver for the twenty first
century. Becky Cloonan will still be involved as design consultant and cover artist for
the five book series.
MacGyver: Fugitive Gauntlet will be released by Image Comics, and the first
issue will début at the San Diego Comic Con in 2012.

Becky Cloonan's website is here: http://estrigious.com/becky/Even if she's not involved n the project anymore, it's probably a good guess to assume the artwork will be similar to work she's done in the past, which looks pretty good.

Based on the promo pic I'd say the thing I'm more concerned with is the lack of detail. I hope the actual art has not only the detail in his cloths (leather jacket for example) but in his faciel expressions. RDA is famous for his expressions. No panel should ever be drawn with MacGyver expressionless. Its as important as the overall story.

QUOTE | He seemed to use quite a LOT of hairspray, actually. Maybe not so much in season 7 when it was longer and kind of floppier, but he definitely used it in season 2-6. (I remember actually going to the barbers during maybe the fourth season of MacGyver, and taking a photo of him with me so that barber could style it like that, and the first thing he mentioned it, "You need a lot of hairspray for that. |
LOL. I can see you sitting there with your picture and your expectations.. Did you get what you wanted? A lot depends on the quality of the hair. Every head is different. If you have a lot of hair, and thick hairs at that, your hair will stand up more easily than with slick thin hair. I have friends who don't need hairspray or anything, they comb it with their fingers every way they want. Other friends need to style their hair (I am talking about men, by the way) with hairspray, gel and wax. So maybe your kind of hair needed a lot of spray, I don't think Mac's, or rather RDA's, did. He had lots of thick hair, that mostly needed the right cut. The haircut is important, too. When it is done well, it needs less styling with gel, spray etc. Gee, I never thought I'd talk this long about hair. Then again, it's Mac's hair, and that is a topic
