It’s funny because I think Portella is a better fit for this comic title. And would prefer if it was all done by Portella. I like the contrast of his art style to the story, and think Reis is too close to Neal Adams for it to work.
I know I criticised Jordie Bellaire's monochromatic coloring in the past, but in this issue it works perfectly, summoning up a fever dream reminiscent of a 1980s post-apocalyptic action movie. It's gritty and glowing in the most fucked-up way possible. Love it!

A TALE OF TWO CAPTAINS! As Steve learns the true nature of his mission into Latveria, he finds himself at odds with his former ally DAVE COLTON - the current CAPTAIN AMERICA, whose path to freedom grows more violent by the day. Who will be the last Captain left standing?
The art by Alvaro Lopez looks amazing, but it's Jed MacKay on writing, which usually means bad dialogue, illogical plot points and pacing issues. Nova: Centurion probably has all three, but the story is so boring and unengaging, I stopped paying attention to whatever cosmic shenanigans are happening and just enjoyed the art. It's really a shame, since Lopez invokes some classic superhero goodness more

The storm's "ethereal" qualities raise the dead from their graves to reclaim their personal valuables stolen by the Halo family before being burie...
Another masterfully written story. It's hard to criticize Francis Portela's art, as it is absolutely perfect, but I think it might be a little too pretty and clean for Hyde Street. I can't help but wonder what the issue would have looked like illustrated by regular artist Ivan Reis.
Doctor Victor Frankenstein has nothing on Hyde Street’s own Doctor Archibald Ego—a disgraced plastic surgeon whose malpractice scars more than flesh...it cuts into the soul. Dragged to Hyde Street in 1997, Doctor Ego now encounters an old patient lured back by unfinished business—and a thirst for revenge. But when the scalpel turns, who becom...
I can see your point. It's a matter of personal taste. I wasn't an initial fan of Reis's either, but his artwork grew on me pretty fast. I don't see too much similarity to Adams - but even if there was, why shouldn't it work? Very few artists reinvent the wheel completely.
For me Reis is an excellent artist with a classic style. I think this title needs someone that can do creepy. Best comparison I can think of is Romita versus Ditko.
