Who else is going to be reading this? The preview in "Brave New World" was the most enthralling thing in that book, by miles. It was the only one that managed to hold my attention. I really want to know what's wrong with the Marvels' powers.
But the real star of the preview was Howard Porter's art. Back when I read JLA Vol. 1, I was convinced that Porter was one of the worst artists I had ever seen. Awkwardly posed, 2-Dimensional characters. Jumbled, cramped, confusing storytelling. Ridiculous-looking faces and terribly proportioned bodies. It was just awful. That's why my mouth just about dropped to the floor when I read that he had done that preview. Now, that's what I call self-improvement. Much more natural looking characters, whose faces and bodies are stylized without looking distractingly bad. Wider, clearer storytelling and pacing. And most of all, those gorgeous watercolor, children's book-style colors. Not only do they compliment Porter's style, but they seem to be perfect for Captain Marvel. I really love the art. I would have never thought that an artist can adapt and improve so much in 10 years. It's astonishing. Maybe someday Rob Liefeld will suddenly become a great artist....Nah.
I'll definitely be picking this up.
