Way, way late with this (cough, wheeze), but one last thought on reading 1421...

Wouldn't 2nd City Blues work much better with bright and shiny Brashill art?  

I have a lot of respect for Pleece's work in general, and i think it works fine here for the non-game bits, but in the actual slamboard scenes it's just hard to feel that there's any flair or pace in this future sport at all - and even the 'Mean Arena' style Ghoul-team just looked well ... dreary.  I'm all for grim and gritty futures, but just plain dull... nah.  

That said, I'm enjoying this tale a lot more than I expected to, I just feel that the art deflates what should be the exciting bits more than a little.
