God damn it. I knew I didn't want this guy following me.
ReplyDeleteNice job, Mr. Marra.
The logo is incredible!!
ReplyDeleteI co-sign the hell out of this happening.
ReplyDeleteAll-around amazing....I love your style for this...like some sort of Giotto painting-meets-George Perez-meets King Kirby.
ReplyDeleteDaniel's right, impressive logo. And the book seems a worthy successor to the Kirby original.
ReplyDeleteWould read? Yes. I love how much Kirby is likely to fit into this 52.
It's all so creepy! Kind of greasy too.
ReplyDeleteImpressive and intense.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome!
ReplyDeletePhenomenal, amazing, fantastic!
ReplyDeleteMind-blowing. The New Gods need a bold art style and Benjamin Marra would fit perfectly.
ReplyDeleteBen! I haven't been able to stop look at this since it was posted. Makes me miss seeing comics that promise to be fun from the start. Too bad this is a cover only, cuz' I'm pretty sure this would totally be my favorite new series... sigh.
ReplyDeleteDC does need more 4th world-stuff!
