Stunning and Powerful...Luv the Ferocious Gray Tones and Subtlety of the Light source!!
Unique and powerful piece! I think commercial necessity, more than artistic sensibility, drives most working artists to stick to a single style and familiar subjects
Oh my goodness! I haven't seen this soft touch from Stipan's work before (in OA) and it is stunning! Great choice!
That's exactly what attracted me. It's violent but the pencils are almost gentle.
So, I finished the trade on Wednesday, re-read #5 and #6 on Thursday - and then let the story marinate. What an utterly unexpected and thought-provoking read! The first thing I did was look up Deniz Camp - no way a white person wrote this, I found myself thinking (racistly). I thought the story was handled very deftly and relevantly. While some conclusions were inevitable, there remained an element of hope, which I enjoyed. I was almost scared to read issue 6. Of course, before coming back to report, I had to stop by Inky Knuckles for a souvenir 😜.
Look forward to your souvenir! I also looked up the creative team because it's not typical for a western comic to tell a tale like this with a such an ear to the voices of the colonised. I'm following whatever they do next individually while awaiting their next collaboration. I think Deniz is heading to Ultimate Avengers of all things. I'll be fascinated to see how he tackles the particularly American power fantasy of something like a Captain America in an actual mainstream cape comic. Have flicked you a great interview with the team to read while we wait for their comics!
A wonderfully soft use of tones to balance out the brutish and gritty battle.
