This is kind of a riff on The Sun Also Rises, yes? Expats, emasculation, jewel thieves, detachment & dissatisfaction, werewolves – that’s all from Hemingway, no?
Jason’s coloring is absolutely glorious here. I’m currently totally in love with artists who go really light on panel background details and really heavy on colors. Like solid color backgrounds. Like just about every back-in-the-day iconic panel you (I) can conjure & like what’s missing from just about everything on the stands today. Jason (the one word name? what the fuck?) runs it from vibrant to somber depending on mood and time of day & he quietly rocks the eight-panel page to the fullest.
And those vacant eyes! Like a doll’s eyes! Aaeeiioouu! (That’s my creepy noise, in vowel order.)
