>Following a major controversial over highly charged political and religious messages hidden into “X-Men Gold” #1, Marvel has officially announced that Ardian Syaf is no longer that series’ artist as his contract with the company has been terminated, “effective immediately.”
>Due to the fact that the next two issues of the twice-monthly series has already been sent to the printer, Syaf’s art will continue to be seen in “X-Men Gold” #2 and “X-Men Gold” #3. R.B. Silva will draw “X-Men Gold” #4, #5 and #6 — issue #4 was originally solicited with art by Syaf — and Ken Lashley will illustrate “X-Men Gold” #7, #8 and #9.
>The original plan for the series was for Syaf to act as lead artist, with Silva and Lashley also rotating on the book. Marvel has stated that a replacement for Syaf on “X-Men Gold” will be named in the near future.
>Marvel’s statement, released to CBR, reads in full:
