| One of the best looking issues from cover to back yet. Lightning in particularly reminds me of Lou Fine’s Ray, with how Robert Webb draws Lightning flying around in a way that’s lush and practically leaps off the pages. Webb is growing to be one of my favorite artists of this era actually. I’m surprised I’ve never seen anyone mention him. |
