I just can't even express how good the art is on this series. Julian Lopez is the penciller, and Bit is the inker. I'm not sure who deserves the most credit, but these pages look absolutely stunning. The very first page, with Rex in chains and complaining about how he needs a potty break, is incredible. Of course, drawing this well on top of a Chuck Dixon story is like putting hot fudge and whipped cream on top of a warm brownie. It's not really necessary, but . . . damn it looks good. Everyone in this book is in perfect character also. Right down to Francine Langstrom and Dr. Salah Miandad. The latter of which is becoming very comfortable in his role as the Remac conduit. We find out this issue that the space station that's being built is being done so by an alien race. Basically they've swapped minds with the humans that they're using to build it. They're like jelly-fish kind of looking aliens. But apparently with huge mental capabilities. It's nice to see everybody back on the team. And I especially liked seeing Batman tapping one of his seldom used resources . . Looker. With the art in this issue . . she's never looked better. The only person who really didn't get any face-time this issue was Ollie. But then with everything that's going on with Connor, he's probably pretty busy right now. This is a fantastic series and I can't wait to see what happens next.
