The Batwoman story arc that he did looked absolutely beautiful--some of the best artwork and innovative layout design I've ever seen in comic books.

Bloom County!

^^^Yeah, that was pretty good stuff. The layout in particular really impressed me.

Bloom County rocks!

Efan said:

I used to hang out with the dude that claimed to be Bill the Cat.

No idea if it was true, but he had convincing stories.

Mars23 said:

Did he say "Ack!" a lot?

Efan said:

No, but he was dead for a year and came back.

Efan said:

Everyone raves about this. Should I read it?

Efan said:

This will win but it probably shouldn't.

Efan said:

I didn't even know this had come out!

Efan said:

Please no!

Efan said:

Definitely

Definitely. I'm a big Fables fan. I'm really impressed that they've managed to keep the quality this high on the series after all this time. It's a great premise and well-executed.

Efan said:

Thanks. I'll check out the trade.
