Never Enough... #3
There's never enough Dan Brereton inked artwork.This week's Immortal Weapons #2 by Cullen Bunn and Brereton features Brereton's non-painted artwork. He's such a great and expressive painter that it's kind of odd to see his work inked and colored by someone else. Opening this book, I was struck by how much Brereton's artwork looks like Gene Colan, from the action scenes to how Brereton (and his inkers) just have the motion on a page flow. Visually this book reminded me a lot of Colan's old Daredevil work. Bunn's story is pretty cool and creepy too. I haven't been following Iron Fist since Brubaker & Fraction left it but this issue didn't miss a beat. It's a great stand alone issue, featuring a thief trying to track down something that rightly belongs to the Bride of Nine Spiders. This may tie into stuff that was happening in the regular series but the story reminded me of some great horror/suspense comics from the 70s, where a lot of the story was about mood and plot. All in all, this was just a great story.
