Lobster Johnson: The Burning Hand

Pedantic much?

I don't understand what that has to do with the last post.

I really, really enjoyed this first issue. My first exposure to Zonjic's artwork, and I am very impressed. As others have said, his figures really have a kind of cinematic quality. And he seems to handle the action sequences extremely well -- it all just flows together, and the characters' positioning looks dramatic, yet natural at the same time. Very pulp noir, just as it should be. Of course LoJo suitably kicks butt. Looking forward to seeing where this mini takes us.

I read Zonjic few months ago in his image series and i must say Dave Stewart color job makes his art look much better.

I like how the first issue was so old school pulp noir style feel. Weird story, Lobster story is plus but i love the mood of it.

Usually i buy comics once a month haul but i went early for this series and was rewarded with very good first issue.

What else has Zonjic done? I loved his art in this and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious about his other works.

Check out Who Is Jake Ellis? It's really good.

Well then, the Google reveals:

- a dedicated site: http://www.to-zo.com/
- a blog: http://lungbug.blogspot.com/

and then some stuff.

Internet has made èverything potentially easy. Everything, except maybe Salsa dancing, or playing the Tuba.

Salsa dancing and Tuba are hard, and yeah I could do a simple google search but I value the suggestions of the good people here much more. Where as a google search would reveal titles, a question here reveals titles people enjoyed which seems more valuable to me.

I really dig the color pallet used in the images I found when looking further into this, it reminds me a lot of the Losers and I loved that book.

I read Who is Jake Ellis ? Which was weird little spy mini series. His art stood out more than the writing. I will check if there is other,older works.

So far this series is by far his best looking art i have seen.

Well, Dave Stewart has a way of bringing out the best of everyone he works with.

Loved this issue. I haven't liked a non-HB Mignola book this much in a long time. Not to say I found any recent stuff in BPRD, Abe Sapien, or Baltimore deficient, but this grabbed me somehow. The guy in the white suit reminded me of Peter Lorre, which I'd wager was the intention.

Another element in this book's favor was seeing Harold McTell again. The issue of BPRD where he tells Kate how the Lobster's team fell apart is one of my all-time favorite Mignola books. He's such a simple, normal character who still manages to stand out amongst a cast of monsters.

I totally missed out on that connection! I figured he was feeding her information from LoJo but I don't know why I didn't put one and two together.

Aw man, you need to re-read it. The scenes with him in it are a nice tease for the future.
