Was it a good idea? Hard to say. The style jumps hit you mid-chapter, there's no seeming purpose of the juxtaposition. Which could be a good thing; a tool for the writer to have to intentionally flip the reader's retention out of the story and to keep them off balance.
Instead I got a sense that this was not used. Perhaps it was more of a logistic sense of just simply making sure all the pages get illustrated by someone. The sheer logistics of making sure no holes poke out might have consumed all their time.
Still, I'll definitely go back to this and re-read it. There's a lot of great art to savor, and while the story does get hacked about by having these jarring changes in style, it's not impossible to connect what's going on with the characters and follow the action.
Madi: Once Upon a Time in the Future is a great GN to have if you're a huge fan of old-school Heavy Metal magazine. There's a representative of every style imaginable there!
