  Joe Abraham is a name I don't believe I've seen before, but based on his work on this one-shot I certainly wouldn't mind seeing it again, as he has a nicely detailed style that is especially good when it comes to the delivery of the facial expressions of the characters. Now there are some moments where the art looks a bit rough, such as the big reveal shot of Captain Valor's destroyed home world, or the scene where Milo is running away from the aliens, but for the most part the art really holds its own, and I have no complaints when it comes to the most important element of this one-shot, as it has no problem capturing the visual gags that the writing comes up with. I mean the panel where Milo is confronted by Captain Valor is priceless, as is the scene where Captain Valor attempts to expose Milo's secret. The cover image also does a pretty effective job of selling the central idea of this one-shot. Read Full Review
