Star Wars (2015), Annual 04, Page 16

That Vader long shadow entrance is grand!  Lots of geometry at play in that third panel!  What a cliffhanger to end the page on!  That's just the highlights!  The clean storytelling builds up with tense panels up top and end on an explosive climax.

You know it is a page that grabs you when your comments are halfway to a bourbon review. The page opens with lingering spice from the door opening, alongside hints of deep caramel, dark chocolate, dried red fruit, and roasted pecan nuts from a deflected blaster bolt. This is followed by a faintly herbaceous and tannic aftertaste of an explosion, warm as a Kentucky hug. Cheers Marcus!

I'd drink to that.

Very nice!

I have finally started to populate some examples from the modern Marvel (2015-present) era of Star Wars comics. Next will have to try and chase down an IDW page or two. Harder to do than I had expected actually, with a lot of the art going digital. Still plenty of artists to chase down though. The hunt continues!
