Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I don't think I've ever seen a graphic novel without words before. Maybe one or two stories.

I have this book, which is 2,000 pages of comics, all wordless.
And holy shit, it looks like its value has appreciated. Normally, the comics I buy don't do that!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
A guy at my comic book store recommended that.
I've read The Arrival, which was the big wordless comic from a few years ago.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Gon is completely enjoyable and beautifully drawn.
Anybody have any votes for the most beautiful draftsmen in the world of comics today?
Maybe...Jiro Taniguchi?
I think I need to get The Walking Man.
I still think Donna Barr is fantastically talented.
Whose linework rocks your socks?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I will always be a fan of George Perez's ability to fill a page. I also like Barry Windsor Smith's way with the pen.

Check out "Spacegirl" (vol. 1), (vol. 2), by Travis Charest.
It takes him several months to draw a single panel.

Ooh I like that. He reminds me of an artist who used to be in Heavy Metal a lot but I can't recall the name.
