Walter, having finally bought the first two issues of this I wanted to comment about the art. Foremost I love the way the artwork is inked. The dip pen has always been my favorite tool for inking. Ever since I discovered the art of Moebius all those years ago, I have loved how it looks. The lines give a certain character which seems to be missing in a work inked with a brush. Sadly, this and Multiverse of MM is the only works of yours I have seen. How do you feel about the freedom which a pen can give you, as compared to inking with a brush?
Also, with regards to the coloring, Steve Oliff's work looks very much like he painted with Gouache. I love the style, as it embodies the same qualities I love about Moebius's work. However, on closer inspection I am convinced that he used a digital process (like Photoshop with a tablet). If you know, could you tell me a little about the colouring process he used?
All in all, I love the visuals. It reminds me of the first few years of Heavy Metal. If only more comics used this style.
