I really dig the art-- it adds to the reading without going overboard --but Martinbrough is killing me with the lack of original art available. It's apparently impossible to get a page or anything from the guy.

Ha...I was thinking the samething
Anyhow, I think #4 is still setting up the arc and we really want get into the meat and potatoes until the 5th or 6th issue...if not later. I'm still all in at this point though still excited to see where it heads.
