Where this issue really pulls out all the stops, though, is with the art. Chris Sprouse, Kyle Baker, Eric Canete, and Eric Powell all in one comic book that is wrapped in a cover by Darwyn Cooke. Seriously, editor Scott Dunbier is a god amongst men for assembling a crew like that. Every page is great, but if you have to say somebody is the standout of the issue, then that somebody is Eric Canete. Every single one of his pages could be a poster. Actually, forget could be, they should be posters. Get on that, IDW. Read Full Review

Told almost entirely in beautiful full-page montages, it is a great introduction to a character you've been reading for two stories already. If they shuffle the stories in the collection, it would a sensible decision to put this one first in it. Canete's art is very good, though there isn't a lot to challenge him as far as story-telling. Look at this one for the great pictures, but don't look for a lot of depth. Read Full Review
