It has been said by some that THE STANDARD #1-#3 feels like a complete arc in itself, and indeed, back before the Diamond release I did publish a little trade collecting the first 3 issues for the convention circuit. And if we look at it that way here, this page here is where you really get a sense of the narrative coming full circle, linking the values of The Standards of past and present, and resolving the most prominent conflict up until that point. I do remember having a proud feeling as we reached this stage in the story, as I did feel like we’d done a bit of setup and payoff, and it felt very satisfying.
Of course, in truth this is us only approaching the halfway point, and much still remains unresolved!
Remember, you can support THE STANDARD Ultimate Collection on Kickstarter!
