As much as I think Bellaire's colors really elevate this title, the artwork looks so good in black and white! I'm also really digging this iteration of Duke and Baroness. I mean, Baroness has always been an interesting character, but Duke specifically is really shining with this new take in a way that he hadn't before, at least for me. I missed the Risk = Snake Eyes theory...I agree with you. I think Risk is a totally new character separate from Snakes, but I like your thought process here about Risk potentially bringing him in... Great work as always! I'm really digging these deep dive reviews.
Appreciate it man! I agree the colors definitely add the mood to each page, but the emotion & action is all here! Tom’s more open style of art sure does leave a lot of room for a colorist to have some fun! This book, when it comes down to it, so far has been ALL about the relationships. You can say it about almost any two characters that interact with each other that it’s an interesting interaction. Love the approach they are taking here!
For sure…in the dark, understaffed, under equipped…having their eyes opened and them getting their act together is going to be quite satisfying to watch!
Damn, you do such a great job of deep diving into single issues, Carl. The mark of someone with passion for their hobby!
Thanks Rubén! Perfect combination of nostalgia & new!

"As someone who's not a fan of Rock & Roll"
You don't get it, Dad, and you never will! Rock and Roll is here to stay, your era of Big Band is over!
No!! Rock & Roll is DEAD, eat your meatloaf & go to your room!!!
This Joe team is way behind on Energon weapons tech compared to Transformers and Cobra.
