Description

Wow...Probably the truest definition of a splash page that I've ever seen as both pages tell a complete story. On Page #6 we have the three shackled prisoners as hopeless prey before the menacing Tyranausaurus Rex (The Beast). While on Page #7, the fate of the trio is pretty evident on the first panel, followed by one of King Morax, and finally the first in-comic appearance of Queen Emporia and her bodyguard Captain Dane Havelock.

Thanks Brent! Really happy that I was able to save up enough to get it. Appreciate you taking the time out to comment.

That... is a STUNNING spread, Jay.  Page 6 is the immediate eye candy grab here, with its fantastic capture (and sublime inking) of this delicious dollop of fantastic Mark Millar insanity ("Yeah, let's have the prisoners dispatched by two folks riding in on a T-Rex..."), but doggone if page seven isn't even more impressive...  Just look at the storytelling chops on display, and how the viewer's eye effortlessly slides down the page: King Morax's shoulder subtly overlays panel one, and his staff cuts all the way through panel three, not only funneling the reader's eye to land squarely upon the arrival of Queen Emporia and her retinue but also to "box her in" thematically.  The T-Rex tail is floated over panel three, panel four is floated over the tail, and Emporia's image in panel four then breaks out of THOSE borders, leading all eyes to the lovely, self-contained panel of Dane and Emporia together (the only panel on this gorgeous spread that is "safe", and retains the integrity of its borders); the very first time we as readers see them together like that.  Absolutely marvelous, Jay!  Beautiful score!

Thanks Jason. Great take on the DPS. Not a lot of people l ow but Page 6 was actually redrawn, it's pretty much the same as you see it here with the exception of the saddle on the Dinosaur.

And a good thing, too.  Riding those things bareback can be a bit of a safety hazard.

Hahaha! Yeah! I'll have to check my binder but I also believe there must have been more than one rider.

It must have really bothered Mark and/or Stuart enough for them to re-draw the whole page.

Thanks for looking and your comments, Jason.
