I'm a big fan of Sean Chen's. But on this month's cover, I noticed something. Everybody has the same face. Just different colors. Sorry! Just something I noticed. Anyways, this was a pretty decent issue, actually. B Clay Moore, apparantly, is the writer on this series now. I liked this issue, because I liked the way he unfolded the story gradually. I also liked how, when Ted was fighting Solomon Grundy, Alan just kind of hung there in the air watching . . thinking. Almost like it would sully his hands to get involved. And then he starts asking Ted about his plans and motivations. A real, kind of, philosophical conversation between the two. Basically he's asking him, why does he still wear his costume. I kind of get the feeling that Alan is asking more for himself than Ted, though. But, it does open up Ted's mind, and we get to see some of his perceptions of his past. Glories, and mistakes. When he starts delving deeper, he begins to realize that none of them went exactly the way he would like to remember them. But the main part of the story focuses on Ted's old gyms, Grant's, that are still up and running in Gotham. Alan wanted to let Ted know that he got the feeling that there's something going on there. "There's a lot of unusual activity there. Guys with no paper trails training and the just disappearing." So between his talks with Alan, and his concerns about the gyms, Ted decides to hit the road solo. He shows up at the gym, and of course everybody recognizes him. He has a little fun in the ring, but when he leaves he gets jumped. When he wakes up, he finds Catwoman standing over him. Ramon Perez is the artist for this issue. He's fairly new. But, he's got talent. Not anything to become overly thrilled about, but . .he's got a good feel to him. His style provided a good feel to this particular issue. I'm interested to see where the stories going to go with Catwoman.
