It’s the comic book you could give to a non-comic book friend or family member, and they wouldn’t be put off as one can easily do with some of the more complex layouts that, in my opinion, is one of the stumbling blocks to interesting new readers. Without Darwyn Cooke, I’m glad artists like Shaner exist and hold up a certain tradition through the art they are producing.Īnd, with the close adherence to a very specific page layout running throughout this issue – and one that hearkens back, also, to a bygone age of comic books – what you have is a comic that delivers a great story and a great reading experience. A mixture of Silver Age sensibilities with contemporary design work, and you have a great looking comic like this one. No wonder DC have him on lockdown creating retro style covers for their recent Silver Age omnibus releases.ĭeceptively simple in its execution, Shaner brings a certain artistic sensibility to his layouts that very effectively keep even the most action-packed scene from being overcrowded, muddy and difficult to follow.

Hopefully, Shaner’s here to stay, as his classic, clean and crisp artwork on a book, homaging the Silver Age created Fantastic Four, is just the perfect fit. So, here’s hoping that I can shed a spotlight onto this fun and somewhat unloved book from writer Jeff Lemire and artist Evan ‘Doc” Shaner, the latter returning for his second concurrent issue.
