While all three stories in the Luther Strode saga are strong, the final volume really stood out to me.
Tradd Moore fully embraces all his powers here and the results are just stunning to look at. There's an exaggerated, almost liquid look to the characters that's striking and gives the reader the feeling that they're laying eyes on something that's never been seen before. The fights are as dynamic as ever, and within every sequence Moore creates a standout moment that had me flipping my pages back and forth just to look at it again and again. I particularly loved issue #3. It's just a textbook display of creating movement on and between panels and features some of the moodiest coloring in the entire series.
The story itself, while mostly functioning as a way for Moore to draw absurd shit, also manages to come together to provide a worthwhile ending to the saga. Despite being a relatively simple story, it's a credit to Jordan for writing to Moore's strengths so he could do his thing, which resulted in a book that's both fun and memorable. I know I'll be reading through the series again at some point in the future and that Moore has a fan for life.
