This is a cool story. It looks like we will get a view of Modi and his actions from several different perspectives. Nice device.Ethen Beavers does a great job here too. Neil Vokes and John Staton both turned in some great pages, but Beavers' style seems to most closely mesh with Oeming's and Wheatley's.I had not heard of Beavers before. So I did a bit of Googling. I've added "Six" and "Mutation" to my Amazon Wish List now. Although with the state of the economy and my finances, this looks more and more like the Amazon Dream List. Oh well.Thanks for another grand edition of "Modi and His Norski Thorski Pals"!One a side note: We've now had two, back to back "Hammer of the Gods" issues. And there have been THREE episodes of "Hammer of the Gods" for the last ONE of "Black Ice," "The Pilgrim" and "The Original Johnson." What's the deal? Should I be worried that the wheels are falling off the ComicMix ComixTrain?
Worry not– it's a lot of holiday deadline crunches and personal items that came together at the last minute, combined with story flows that make it tough to put in breaks. It's the holidays, it happens.It also helps that Mr. Wheatley and cohorts, friends to production guys everywhere, delivers artwork so far in advance that he puts DC and Marvel to shame. If we've ever posted anything of his late, it's been because of technical issues on our end.(ComicMix ComixTrain?)
