First of all, it's "Staton", not "Stanton".
The story is like this: Bill Willingham was hired to do FLAGG!, and he did
indeed start doing the art for his first issue. But somewhere along the line,
Comico reached and agreement with him about continuing THE ELEMENTALS, and he
naturally jumped on that, abandoning his FLAGG! duties. This is what put the
book behind schedule. Staton was then signed up, but only for three issues
(one storyline). Mark Badger is slated to draw it after Staton, but I don't
know if he's a "permanent" artist or not. I hope not, as I'm not that fond of
his artwork.

I believe that First has stated that Badger would be the permanent
artist on FLAGG!, but we all know what "permanent" means. (It means
he'll do it untill he decides he dosen't want to do it any more.)
By the way, Steve Grant is now the co-writer on FLAGG!, so Howard's
complete departure from the book seems likely.
