Olivier Coipel is turning out his best work yet, and he couldn't have picked a better project to bring his A-game to the table, as it's easily his highest profile project. Part of the credit should go to the highly polished inks of Tim Townsend, as he brings out the details on the page. The book opens with a wonderfully surreal sequence as Emma and Layla take a literal tour inside the young girl's head.
