New Avengers #5, pages 21 and 22 (David Finch and Danny Miki)

Not many modern artists do detail as well as Finch! that Sauron image running across the DPS is so impressive, and really like that inset panel shot of our heroes as they look up in shock! Miki is no slouch brining out Finch's lines here either. Excellent addition!

Many thanks, my friend. Yes, the detail on this DPS is insane, which is what drew me to it in the first place. To do justice to such penciled detail, a really good inker is necessary and, as you have pointed out, Miki did a splendid job.

BTW, everyone misses you on Ruben's show. Hope you are well.

Squeezing the heroes into the second panel, and crowding them at the edges of panels below, really emphasises the scale and threat of Sauron. Nicely done.

Many thanks, Paul. Yes, as mentioned, the design and perspective for this DPS is amazing. 

A terrifyingly beautiful piece! You know, I'm amazed at how every time I see a Sauron appearance anywhere, but especially on a very powerful depiction such as this one, it immediately gives me a wonder feeling of nostalgia for the Claremon/Byrne/Austin Savage Land issues of X-Men in which Sauron appeared. Congratulations on acquiring this, CAB, it's a winner!

Many thanks, Rubén. The page is indeed extremely striking and it was very astute of the artists to do a huge Sauron appearance across a DPS whilst simultaneously embellishing the page with fine inset panels.

Never has Sauron looked so menacing, so vile!

Many thanks, West. It was very astute of the artists to use a DPS so as to emphasize the giant image of Sauron.

Many thanks, Rick. Succinct and to the point, as always!

Great splashy image of Sauron.  

Many thanks, James. The nature of the subject matter just lent this to a large and detailed image such as this. It is even more striking in person.

This was killer!  Finch relaunched the post DisAssembled Avengers and put them at the top of the charts!  This DPS showed the same great intensity of his Ascension art plus his rapidly improvements in storytelling.  I think he sped up a lot of Bendis' scripts to pack this title full of action!

Many thanks, Marcus. Yes, Finch really outdid himself on this particular series. But the Miki inks really clinched it for this particular piece.

That is one mean looking lizard-bird-man!  But boy does David make him look good!

Many thanks, James. The Miki inks, too, did justice to the final image. 

Wow!  That is an amazing piece!

Many thanks, Steve. I cannot recall now, but did Sauron ever battle the Hulk?

Lovely detail and Bricks!!!

Many thanks, Ian. I must say that I missed the bricks as I was so focused on the main image!

Finch and Miki do such great work together....this DPS is a perfect example of their dynamic art.  Congrats my friend.

Many thanks, my friend. Both these artists are so detailed so bringing them together truly created a fine piece indeed.

I loved this run!!

Many thanks, Ron. Finch's artwork on this run really rocked.

Wow, what a stunning page!! I remember being wowed by this page when I read this comic for the first time, and I am so glad to see it in such a wonderful collection as yours! Finch is just amazing!

Many thanks, Alberto. It is such a striking page and the bonus is having two artists who excel at detail collaborating on one and the same piece.

FANTASTIC FINCH!

Many thanks, Nick. Now that is classic Marvel/Stan Lee alliteration!

Impressive dps

Many thanks. And many congrats on a great CAF gallery and wonderful Finch pages as well.

other than not having any gunfighters on the page, just a gorgeous addition!

Many thanks, Duke. LOL! Actually, Sauron WAS shot!

So impressive.  I was watching this one myself.  As a Sauron AND Finch fan?  Can't beat it.  Huge congrats, CB!

Many thanks, Kahlil. And a Miki fan as well!

wow cab, thks ks a amazing dps, artkst always like to do him on a dps, great pick up buddy

Many thanks, Tom. Yes, this is such an amazing and striking piece of art.

Perfect combination of layout, pencils and inks.  Must be stunning in person

Many thanks, Carlo. It is indeed very stunning in person. The detail is off the charts.

A stunningly breathtaking spread, my dear CAB, that would be utterly entrancing - hypnotic, even! - even without Sauron trying to put the whammy on our heroes in that superb panel 2...!  Finch draping Sauron's creepy claws over that second panel lends some great dimensionality to the spread, and Miki's backgrounds (especially on the top of the piece) assure Dr. Lykos' entrance (and this entire spread) are unforgettable.  Brutal, beautiful detailing, with my favorite possibly being the leaf shadows on Sauron's leg: just an environmental "truth" that I feel others might skimp out on to accentuate the splash.  Utterly explosive and brilliant, CAB, from one of my favorite runs!  ENORMOUS congrats! :)

Many thanks, Jason. You have such artistic sense and acumen as well as literary quality that there is really nothing to add - save to say that I should have asked you to write the description for me!

Finch and Miki are magic together.  I've always loved this DPS.  Sauron has never looked more menacing.

Many thanks, Ken. And many congrats on some awesome Finch/Miki Batman artwork.

Great storytelling and an IMPRESSIVE DPS FALCON as well!

Many thanks, Mikail. It may be a bit of an exaggeration but this DPS has cinematic qualities and perspectives.

Wow!!! A true exemplar and showcase of their skills!
