This issue was actually pretty decent. I was getting discouraged for a while there. But . . . they've switched writers, and artists. Both on the inside and on the cover. Michael Golden is the cover artist. But it really barely looks like his style. I don't know either of the guys inside. Zeb Wells in the new writer. And Clay Mann is the new artist. I like Clay's art. It's not flashy. And it's not overly detailed. But it has a nice style to it. My guess is that he's pretty new to this business. But he shows a ton of potential. I also liked Zeb's story. There seemed to be a lot more character development in this issue, than in previous ones. Lots of interaction. It played out nicely. They're still in the Savage Land. They've been hired to capture Moon Boy. He hangs with a big red dinosaur. Kind of like the Savage Land's Clifford. Because of their affinity they're afraid that they may have to return with the dinosaur also. But luckily, it's nursing some eggs. So although it doesn't want to see Moon Boy go, it's instincts towards it's nest is greater. But now Misty and Colleen are in a predicament, because they don't know if they're doing the right thing, extracting him from his home. But Palladin keeps reminding them of their million dollar payoff. Also Humbug has made a connection to the insects of the island. Whether he wanted to or not. So he's changed a bit. And the insects have warned him of some impending disaster back in their world. So he's in kind of a hurry to get home. Oh . . . . also Shang-Chi and Tarantula hooked up. But he doesn't want to talk about it, because he's afraid his Chi's been thrown off. I have to say, it's probably a better story than I've seen in the previous 9 issues. It looks like we're back on a roll again.
