Renato Guedes is a heck of an artist. He has an excellent sense of scope and when the monster attacks Metropolis, he gives us some awesome views of the path of destruction. The cityscapes he draws are highly detailed and his grasp of displaying powerful action is just superb. If and when Superman has his showdown with Atlas, we're in for one heck of a treat. Hi-Fi's coloring work is the icing on the cake, adding a lot of dimension to Guedes' linework. This is a perfect example of how much difference a capable colorist can make. Because of the Hi-Fi's work, we see all the action taking place near sunset. Buildings begin to turn a little pink and we see their long shadows extend over the streets. It's great atmospheric work and one that shouldn't be ignored. Read Full Review
