Ethan Van Sciver's work has always impressed me, as he offers up one of the most detail intensive styles this side of Byran Hitch, and it does seem like he's found a good method of displaying his wares, as rather than hitch his wagon to a monthly title, instead he jumps from one project to the next, and in turn he manages to deftly avoid the pitfall of missed shipping dates.

By recognizing it, he can fight it. Excellent! Read Full Review
