Paul Pope's cartooning transition from THB 1 to issue 6+ is really something to behold.

Time for another Indie Comic quick review: Skab by @jonbergillus. I came across Jon's art on Twitter and instantly loved it. He's a cartoonist that uses ink expressively: Heavy brushstrokes, rough textures, shadows, and energy, just enough detail but not over-laboring the renderings and stiffening the panels. Black and white as the palette also infuses the panels with more drama and legibility. The other thing I appreciate about Jon's art is his character design. It's not anime. It's not super-hero. But it's simple, clear and memorable. Very inspiring. And then his lettering... I really need to learn how to letter onomatopoeia like this. Skab is a classic sword and sorcery fantasy with a young hero at the center. It blends action and character expertly. My only worry is that there seems to be a lot of plot to unfold and things are only getting warmed up after two issues. I hope Jon has the momentum to finish the story. Highly Recommended!
