Given the theme of the series I'm guessing that was the point.
NW was fairly early on in his career though. He's improved a lot since then.Not saying they are bad but its probably good he sticks with doing interior for his own project, I hate fairyland.
Check out the first few arcs of last year's Rocket Racoon series which he wrote & drew, just before I Hate Fairyland.
(He also wrote & drew a Northstar story for X-Men: Divided We Stand #1 in 2008, which is half way between the two styles.)
