Verdict:Jesse Snider and Jason Craig now have three solid issues under their belts and I can see a bright future for this book. The story telling is great and the artwork is solid. I highly recommend this for any Evil Ernie fans out there or maybe those gore fans out there looking for a great story and some bloodshed.

Lastly, can't forget about the back-up story which was also written by John Layman and had artwork by Andy Clarke. Back-up story mainly focused on one of thehenchmenthat was in the main story but It was a short and sweet and the artwork was great.

Axe Cop is a book that is pure fun. I can't recall the last time I had this much fun reading a comic book. Miles of smiles will be had!

I would highly recommend this book if you are a fan of great story telling, beautiful artwork, subtle yet vibrant colors, and Frank Miller. Only thing I would say is this story might hit home to some people so just keep that in mind when picking this up.

The future for Animal Man looks promising; I can't wait for the crossover event happening between Scott Snyders- Swamp Thing and A-Man coming up. I am pretty sure my head is going to explode with amazing writing and phenomenal art work!

This issue was a breath of fresh air even though some art panels were hit or miss. I would have thought since Finch was off writing duties he would focus solely on art, but its falls short at times. But I believe he can pick up the ball and run with it!

John McCrea is the man when comes to him drawing Martians. His detail work is far from none, the guy can draw like no mans business, especially his close up panels have great detail work, but the only fall back is the some of the panels just have to much shadowing going on. But don't get me wrong McCrea is jaw dropping awesome with the pencil and with Andrew Elder (Batman Beyond) adding his vibrant colors really just adds another element. Combing them both together they know how to make a book feel like it's from the 1960's. I highly recommend this book just for the pure fun of it. Can't wait till the next issue!

Ultimately Alberto Ponticelli's art is worth the $2.99 price tag for me. I love all the sci-fi action, characters facial expressions, and cloud traveling (with cloud jets!).I first heard about Ponticelli in 2011 when he was drawing IDW's Godzilla: Gangsters & Goliath mini-series, which I absolutely loved. Seeing these larger than life monsters come to life and destroying Tokyo really made me admire him as a artist, also John Layman (Chew) writing it made me love this series even more. Regardless, if you like Ponticelli art definitely check out IDW's Godzilla: Gangsters & Goliath mini-series.
