That's fair so back to this upcoming GA Sandman mini. It's totally giving me Sandman Mystery Theater vibes with the art. And that's a very good thing.
I might check this out.
Why do they keep putting Riley Rossmo on books?
I love noir detective fiction and Sandman Mystery Theatre is just about the best thing DC have ever put out, so this is a must for me. That said, I have never enjoyed a book by Rob Venditti so I really hope this is the exception.
"Has Sariel summoned you here, Azrael? Have you come to witness the miracle of your brethren arriving on Earth?"
"I WILL MIX THE ASHES OF YOUR BONES WITH SALT AND USE THEM TO ENSURE THE EARTH THE TEMPLARS TILLED NEVER BEARS FRUIT AGAIN!"
"*sigh* I hoped it was for the miracle."
Dan Watters' Azrael was incredible, a constant delight and perhaps too good for this world (but not the Forth). For the love of St. Dumas, DC, give us more!!!
I don't understand why he's not change his facial designs..for me this is the problem
Rossmo's art is fun but works in more outlandish stories. So maybe this tale will be more pulp than noir?
Rossmo's art here fit surprisingly. I hated it in Robin as I found it extremely exagerated, but here it seems he had toned down a little. As it seems to be based in the Golden Age, I wonder if we'll also see a young Sandy. Would be interesting to see more of them back before the accident that gave Sandy his powers.
Sandy originally didn't show up until Wes ditched the gas mask and went with a more conventional superhero look (just before Joe Simon and Jack Kirby took over the feature).
As for the "accident", if you haven't already read it, that story was first revealed in Justice League of America #113 (September-October 1974).
Wow! A Sandman mini. I’m definitely picking this up. Looking forward to it. Night Terrors #2 as well.
