It encapsulates the story and captures the quest of the book. The musical montage of the story. Even as Superman soars, Luthor's disappointment shows up at the end with a sour note as they head toward the finale.
So, is 1990's computer coloring coming back in vogue or something? Thank the comic gods for original art. A wonderful piece with great inking!
I choose to believe you defintely had a hand in Maxima having a prominent role in this DPS. How could you not have?! Amazing add to the collection, man!
George Perez would be proud. Beautiful montage DPS.
Go big or go home for Maxima's 100th! This DPS is bonkers!!! A good kinda bonkers. so much to take in. really impressive. congrats!
Great Maxima page! It is good that she allowed the other heroes to share her page!
Every inch of this thing incredible. As a huge Nowlan fan, I'm going bonkers because my eyeballs don't know where to look first. Upper left. No, lower right. No, lower left. Oh, the middle is fantastic. Aaargh! Congrats on this stunner.
Simply breathtaking beautiful work! Big congrats!
Congrats on an epic and loaded DPS Derek. No white space was spared by Hitch. Super indeed.
An amazing DPS for your 100th Maxima piece! Hitch packed a lot of story and design here.
Great Caesar's Ghost! What an amazing DPS from Bryan Hitch and Kevin Nowlan! It's absolutely breathtaking! Just a superb splash witrh Superman and Lex Luthor visiting various people and places across the galaxy looking for a cure! Love all the cameo appearances--The Guardians of the Universe, the Spectre, Mr. Myyzptlk, the New Gods, Maxima, Queen of Almera, the list goes on and on. It's a veritable smorgasbord of DC characters! Fantastic pick-up, congrats!
Wow! Glorious!!!
Boy, oh, boy - did you land some great pieces from this fun (and fantastic) series, Derek! A patented Hitch layout here, with detail, action, and tightly-rendered characters popping off the page everywhere you look. This page has a bit of everything, at every level and every scale imaginable, and while an exhaustive, emotionally-rich, top-to-bottom tour of the DC Universe in 3-issues might be too tall of an order for some creative teams, it never, ever felt anything less than comfortable business as usual for Waid, Hitch, and Nowlan. You have a beautiful burst of magic here, Derek. If you were looking to perfectly encapsulate the scale and plot of this story in a single image, this would do it. Sure, it's a Bryan Hitch double-page splash, but it's a single image! :) And the perfect button is the large image of a stymied and defeated Lex in the bottom right, indicating that even after the exhausting search through the depth of wonders on this page, the quest must go on... A great spread, Derek (and Nowlan's inks are superb here, too)! HUGE congrats!
You'd be hard pressed to pack any more into a DPS. SO much to pore over, man, and I've sure you have. Congrats!
That 'mosaic' has some interesting devices for creating fake borders between the scenes - the edge of machinery above Adam Strange, a planet's edge, and most notably the curve of Superman's stretched body. Interesting piece.
