JG Jones, the artist for Final Crisis, won't be drawing its closing issue (via The Beat). Instead, it'll be Doug Mahnke. They say here: Via an email reply, Jones told CBR News that it was his preference not to comment “on any of this.” Jones did however offer, “Any problems completing the series are my own.
