  The final piece of the puzzle is the fantastic art from Eduardo Risso. It’s clear that Risso has a cinematic view of comic books.

The backgrounds are stark, the figures usually hidden by shadow and the muted colors make give the scenes a documentary style reality. Risso is all about the moment and with every stroke of the pen he makes you believe in the horror of it all. Imagine the cinematography of Apocalypse Now pushed through a noir filter and emptied onto a comic book page. That’s how powerful Risso’s art is in this issue. No matter how bad Flashpoint ends, it will be the event series responsible for giving us Knight Of Vengeance and that makes the entire endeavor worthwhile. Read Full Review
