Beatrice vs Kammi, what a killer sequence. And then Emmy enters the fray, arriving like Thor in a hail of thunder and lightening (or 'Witches Fire' in this case). This emotionally harrowing thriller has me charged up for the next issue, and future issues now that the big bad witch, Hester Beck, has been teased for a comeback.
Nominees: Mister Miracle #4, Wild Storm: Michael Cray #2, The Unbelievable Gwenpool #22, The Wild Storm #9, Jean Grey #9, Spider-Gwen #26, Lazarus X+66 #5, Wicked + the Divine #33
Loving the mysterious story, the camaraderie between the leads and the gorgeous art by Aaron Lopresti, Matt Ryan and Wendy Broome.
Johns is no Alan Moore - this'll never be as cerebral – but Johns can do pulpy comic style adventure with heart and intelligence (see his JSA series). A great start with this one, just hope it doesn't slip into cookie cutter, noisy fights/no brains mode as the Black Lantern thing did. Gary Frank's art is eye popping, gritty but with beautiful line work.
Nominees: Coyotes #1 (Image), Mystik U (DC), Demon (DC)
Neat riff on Dali's “Soft Construction with Boiled Beans (Premonition of Civil War)”
Groovy! Lets get Lotay back on interior work (whatever happened to that project with Ellis?)
Head Writer, wide awake nightmare... bids you salutations citizens of Earth!
