I like a number of the sequential art choices you've made for your collection. This being one of them. Your Miller DD is another.

This page works in the traditional sense from left to right, but the columns work to to bottom as separate takes on the entire page. Bolland knocked it out of the park with this page and the entire book.

At first, I was torn about Brian's decision to change the natural, wind-blown cape styles in the rough layout for the symmetrical, mechanical style in the final, but really, it fits with the overall aesthetic feel of the book. A great choice.
My wife and I both fell in love with this book when we discovered it by accident in the comic shop. Had no idea it existed until we saw it on the shelf. We went to the comic shop every week, but we didn't 'follow the industry', and had no idea it was coming out. What a pleasant, awesome, surprise it was.
You are so lucky to own this piece.
