I couldn't agree more. It is definitely under appreciated.
Now that the mini series is over, what is everyone's favorite page, panel, cover, etc.
I think my favorite page is the last page of issue. This is my favorite panel:
I'm also partial to some of the Petra pages because of how well the subplot regarding her abuse is written. I think Justin Jordan does a great job with her character. She's complex and strong and dead sexy. The dodge ball page from issue one is also classic.
I can't say that I enjoyed violence that was inflicted upon those near and dear to out hero, but they were well done for that exact reason. The damage inflicted on our heroes was painful for readers to witness and this is rare in comics. As disturbing as the images were in, for example, the Killing Joke, even Allen Moore didn't do as good a job creating an emotional bond with readers before he crippled Barbra Gordon. That isn't to say that Moore is not incredible talented or that he wouldn't have done precisely what I'm talking about if he had more issues, it's to say that Jordan and Moore did a hell of a job making readers care about the characters in this book. What does everyone else think?

If anyone is interested in Luther Strode Original Art, send me a PM and I'll give you contact information for Tradd Moore. The art is very reasonably priced and there is a lot of great stuff left.
This is the cover to the regional variant of issue number 6 (which I think is still for sale on ebay, and limited to 1,000 copies). In my opinion it's a smokin' hot cover!

Does anyone have any good ideas for a sketch for the blank back cover of the Larry's Comic variant? I'm sure Tradd Moore could come up with something super cool, but I didn't know if anyone else had a couple ideas that they were willing to share. Thanks!

I got mine from ebay. I think it's a Larry's Comics variant. My recollection is that they run $20 a pop. Believe it or not, they look even nicer in person. If you look earlier in this thread, I listed where Tradd Moore and Justin Jordan are appearing so board members will be able to plan getting their CGC SS sketch covers done. I think the cover is limited to 1,000.
