A Beautiful Gory Display – Kickstart’s BLACKSMITH and ENDANGERED

The art comes from Juan Santacruz, who’s done some work for DC and Marvel, and it is really gorgeous.  There are so many weird creatures, and he just nails the designs on each of them.  Ruin, the villain, has such a great look – he just screams “galactic conqueror” from his very first panel.  And man, there is a lot happening on every page.  Futuristic buildings, monsters, explosions, it all looks great.  I especially like the way that every time Caysea uses her powers, it’s a full-page shot.  We don’t see many of those in the Kickstart books, so it makes those moments seem huge.  It’s a perfect marriage of writer and artist – Williamson’s big ideas come to life beautifully.
