  6. Although I generally prefer a more "serious" (the original..sorta) and less "cartoon" (the revision) take on things, Houghton is clearly the master of the two when it comes to composition and movement--a huge improvement..massive. And bonus points for making the executive decision of replacing the boring bald guy in leather with a character that is just so much more appropriate. I am so impressed with his choices here. Nice work.

  7. Nice work, Chris. Airboy is back. Moonstone just put out a Chuck Dixon story this week, in fact. I thought that's why this was timed to come out on "Covered" when it did.
