First I want to say that Daniel Zezelj is back on board this issue as the illustrator. I'm really glad because his artwork is fantastic. He does these things where he combines the shadows with his dark lines . . and it really comes together nicely. Plus he does most of the page in a solid kind of color. The splash page this issue, page 8, shows these 2 guys standing on the other side of a small lake from a waterfall and a mountain of trees. Like I said, most of it is lines and shadow, but you can see a little brown and green dispersed through the trees, and horizon. But then the water and sky, which really take up most of the picture, are all this blueish grey with a hint of yellow in it. It makes for a wonderful picture. He also does this thing, later in the book, where he changes the feeling of the scene by simply changing the colors that it's imbued with. It's the exact same panel, but on one page it's brown and black, and on the final page of the book, it's a deep bluish grey and black. It's the exact same panel, but it feels completely different. In case you haven't noticed, I'm really blown away by this guys stuff. The whole issue is good. It's about these 2 convicts, on the run, who, I think, found the cave where Ruth buried Wes in the previous story-line. It's set quit a bit in the future from the previous story. This one takes place in 1927. I think the basic idea is that the area is cursed, or carries the feelings, of that traumatic episode. It doesn't end well for these 2 guys. A fantastic story by Brian Azzarello. But, the best part of the book, is Daniel's art. Check it out, if you have a chance. It's worth every penny.
