Up until very recently, with Vixen #1, Air #1, and of course this issue, I had not read any of G. Willow Wilson’s work. With this issue, I can confidently say that she’s growing on me, and I’ll likely look into her other work in the near future.

Her writing in this issue is unlike any other superhero book (that I’m aware of) on the shelves. With the exception of the brief appearances from some JLAers in this issue and the last, this doesn’t in fact feel much like a superhero book at all. If not for the aforementioned guest appearances, I wouldn’t have been surprised if this were a Vertigo or indie title. Vixen’s C-list at best status, despite being a JLA member at the moment, certainly lends itself to telling an interesting, continuity-free story.

While the plot and dialogue have been quite good so far, that can’t be wholly judged until the mini ends. What can be is the amazing art from penciller/inker Cafu, and colorist Santiago Arcas. Wow! Great storytelling and beautiful people! I can’t wait to see more from both of these artists! Not only can Cafu capture the movement of people, but the many animals in this series thusfar are great looking as well. On the coloring side, well, just flip through the book at the store, I (not knowing enough coloring lingo) can’t aptly describe its awesometude.

In conclusion: Buy this book. Buy it. Only good can come from seeing well-crafted story-telling and amazing art being supported by your dollar. This is what I want to be reading, and if you give it a shot, I think you’ll agree.
