Another silent page for Will Robson to work on, and another silent page he knocks out of the park. Here, we see The Dawn arriving at Zena’s house, clearly intending to find her, but finding a quite different scene instead. […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Another silent page for Will Robson to deal with, but he nails it once again. It probably shouldn’t make sense for a skull to be crying, but Will brings us into the emotion of the moment so effectively we don’t […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The Standard #6 – Page 9
Ouch! That arm-break looks nasty! Thus we wrap up Zena Zarthos VS The Dawn, the first of the two big climactic fight scenes of this issue. A big kudos to Will Robson for knocking it out the park. Tomorrow marks […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The Standard #6 – Page 14
And we’re back to Jonathan Rector’s art again! I love the little details he brings to The Dawn here, with bits of his skin flaking off. This is as much part of the final showdown between The Standard and The […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
