WOW. They should just shoot/print off Denys's finished pencils, as with Gene Colan's for Nathaniel Dusk. I liked Denys's work decades ago, but those pages are off the hook!

You all should get this NOW!
Downside:
The inker and person doing the colors is really REALLY letting down Cowan's art... if this book is to last, the color style has to change in order to give Cowan's art more "gritty-liveliness." Kind of like the colorist/inker of Leinil Yu's work on Supercrooks, otherwise Cowan's pencils have improved.Greg Anderson: Blackized Anti-Sterotypist!

Agreed. Would really like to see the art open up a bit more in later issues. Originally Posted by Greg Anderson

What exactly is the problem with the inks and colours?
'The marquis. Well, you know, to be honest, he seems a little bit dodgy to me.'
'Mm,' she agreed. 'He's a little bit dodgy in the same way that rats are a little bit covered in fur."

I'm not the hugest Cowan fan...but overall I think the book is pretty good.
Fanboy (il)logic: If a character who is not a "classic" Justice Leaguer or Avenger gets any panel time whatsoever, he/she is being "shoved down our throats".

I think Dave McCaig's colors are a great complement to Cowan's pencils. Look at the example above, McCaig picks up the important definition of monster and still kept the image clear and distinct. But then, for me, Yu's work is an eye-wrenching mess. Just read issue 2 of Dominique Laveau and one thing that really jumped out is how much detail Denys puts into the background without having it distract from the action. So many modern artists just put filler in the back to save time.
