Holy SHIT! I missed the first printing so I got to read issues one and two back-to-back. John Romita Jr. is AMAZING! I’m pretty sure this is the first thing I’ve read that he has drawn. Can someone recommend more? Please? Oh, and Mark Millar is writing this brilliantly I guess…JOHN ROMITA JR.!!!

Story: 4 - Very Good
Art: 5 - Excellent

  1. The only other thing I have read was Daredevil: The Man Without Fear which was written by Frank Miller. I believe it was a 4 issue mini series but I know I have seen the entire thing in trade. I remember it being a great read with beautiful artwork. It’s basically another origin story of DD.

    Actually, come to think of it I also have a Batman/Punisher crossover and Wolverine/Ghost Rider/Punisher crossover that he drew as well. Not the best reads but great art.

  2. JRjr and Millar worked together on Wolverine Enemy of the State, all twelve issues are collected in a BEAUTIFUL hardcover edition (I didn’t ask for it but my brother thought I might like it, so he gave it to me for Chistmas two years ago… thanks Joe).  The story is fine:  Wolverine gets captured and reprogramed by the hand.  His new mission is to annihilate all superheros.  Commissioned by SHIELD, Elektra is hot on Woverine’s trail.  It’s not "The Great Gatsby," but it is a lot of fun.  Wolverine vs Reed Richards = good times.  Witch leads me to JRjr’s art.  This was my first experience and I was not sold on his figures (I though they were too expressive and unnatural… I’ve come around on this subject).  However the action sequences stood out! The art and layout are both exciting and dramatic.  JRjr is fantastic and this is a good example why. 

  3. John Romita Jr. is an industry legend who I think is only getting better and better.  His resume is long.  You can see it here:
