I think it depends where you look but yes - I really missed him in the Time of Your Life arc even while it made sense to use Moline for that story. And it's not just the facial expressions and not being afraid to draw them ugly when they feel ugly but the way the characters move and hold themselves. It's true they're not great likenesses considered as portraits but they're not portraits. I've also been really impressed with the his frame transitions and page compositions, how they totally serve the story while still maintaining visual interest. Like in Wolves at the Gate there's big sections of both tragedy and comedy with zero or minimal dialogue but it's all conveyed beautifully through imagery and timing.
