Pitarra’s art is in stark contrast to the guile we’re accustomed seeing Hickman to at Marvel. I’m not bashing it…I love its rugged and dogged nature. There’s a grit that fits perfectly with Hickman’s script as he plots the Americans garnering an eclectic group of scientists as they pave the way forth for total domination. This is not as deft as issue 1 but it is still enjoyable. The cast Hickman concocts is remarkable as usual with Einstein conjuring a delectable yet sinister charm.
This is my favourite book of March. I love Angelo’s ghoulish yet sentimental feel while Jordan’s art is grisly yet telling as can be. They fit each other perfectly. Dee investigates the death of her parents in Kansas under duress and such dire circumstances are not bereft of mystery and intrigue. With a WIZARD OF OZ spin, I didn’t expect to see the flying monkey monstrosity emerge so early but with the other elements from the tale yet to be woven, I cannot wait to see the threads spun.
