If you’re unfamiliar with Russell’s soft, gentle lines then you are missing out on one of the best artists working in comics. From the very first page, of autumn leaves falling through the sky towards the ocean, Russell’s art is so beautiful that it’s hard to believe you’re not looking at a piece of classical art. From the curve and crest of each wave, to the perfectly placed drifting leaves, its composure is quite impressive. Russell’s skills continue to shine throughout the comic, drawing animals, humans, monsters, and storms all with such a perfect touch that it is breathtaking. Add in a soft color palette from Lovern Kindzierski, and perfect-as-always letters from Todd Klein, and this becomes one of the most beautiful comics you’ll see all year.
