Whose artwork would you like to see this large? My short list includes Travis Charest, Alan Davis (ironically enough), Dale Keown (yeah, I'm a dreamer), Jim Lee, and George Perez. I want to think about your dream creative teams on the art side of things. So the next question is, who else would you want to see working on one of these books? Assume the writer is a constant, one who could write this type of tale. " is as heroic as anything else on the stands today." For those who saw it as a necessary evil, or as something to be dispensed with, her work on books such as this one should change minds. Laura DePuy has made coloring interesting again. The coloring adds more to those feelings than I can say. The opening two-page splash of the giant planet-stealing spaceship is as breathtaking as anything you could ask for in comics. In addition to drawing all the members of the Justice League, you also get to see Hitch and company draw a series of planetscapes, a number of different aliens, and all the accompanying landscapes and ships. This is a story, first of all, which takes place in "the vastness of space," after the earth has been abducted and joins a series of other planets, adrift in a mammoth alien spaceship. The stories don't necessary need a "widescreen canvas." But Ross' two-page splash montages and the detail of his artwork really well on the larger format volume.īryan Hitch's art (with Paul Neary inking and Laura DePuy coloring) benefits from this format. Why bother with such a large format book, unless the story and art benefited from it? The Alex Ross books that come out every Christmas-time benefit from Alex Ross' art. The one big test this book needed to pass was a reason for being. It's a gag I use on an obscenely regular basis that very few people ever pick up on. (Not only does Plastic Man, for one, come across as a lovable and funny goofball in this story, but he also blatantly inserts a reference to Douglas Adam's HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY that you can't miss if you've read the books.
