I love Connor and the Dodsons. I also love Cho, who did the above image of Carol. It's not that I'm anti-cheesecake, but just. Comics covers are sometimes so tasteless. The awesome thing about Connor, the Dodsons and Cho, is that their cheesecake is lovely, and celebratory. There's genuine love of the female form in their stuff.
And then there are guys like Land and Benes. -_-
I'm going to do a series of Carol posts on SD, once the term is over, so you'll be able to make a more informed decision about Reed's run then. Actually, some of stubbleupdate's stuff might still be up in the archive. I haven't checked.
With Reed... there are ups and downs. He has trouble sticking with a direction, so every arc seems to go somewhere new. He also relies way too much on narration. Carol's narration, but still show don't tell, buddy.
On the other hand, there are some fantastic character moments, and some great fights (Carol vs Rogue, Carol vs Spider-Woman 2, Carol vs alternate Carol, Carol vs the Brood Queen). His romantic stuff is kind of limp: he sets up two potential relationships and then lets them flounder. There are a number of dropped threads (what happened to Arana frex).
On the other other hand, it's usually a solid, classic superhero book.
