More on "The Brave and The Bold"

In my previous posting, I raved about Mark Waid's writing on the first twelve issues of "The Brave and the Bold." Now I want to talk about the artwork.

George Perez did his usual amazing job with the first few issues. If you need someone who can depict a wide array of comic book characters, while simultaneously giving them dynamism and expression, then George is your man. That's why it was so unfortunate when he had to stop doing the interior art.

Having said that, Jerry Ordway was a worthy and logical successor. He's one of the few guys who can even come close to touching Perez's work. Like Perez, he injects realism and dynamis into his art, which is one reason why I loved his old work on "The Power of Shazam" so much.

Great job, gents. Great job.
