"Khary Randolph's art is sharp and stylish while Emilio Lopez's colours compliment it perfectly with a great vibrancy. All the glitz and glamour of Vegas is captured, while the more subtle moments of facial expression is handled equally well.”


“This issue was a complete surprise, the premise was shot through almost immediately and the whole story twisted so violently at the end, I was left puzzled about where it might go. It might just be that because I made all of these assumptions, when it didn't turn out as formulaic as I had expected it was better for it. Either way, it sucked me right in, so I guess I should stop trying to second guess stuff and just enjoy the ride.”


"What's nice about Zatara-analogue Hank's conversation with alcoholic, magic-knowledgeable Hector is the dialogue flows naturally, showing the characters already have some history in place. Hernandez gets across the subtext of their interactions so well (helped by the occasional, revealing thought bubble) that you get a good sense of their relationships without having them spelled out to you. Even the spats between Hank and girlfriend/showgirl Alle have layers-despite their irritation, they still possess a degree of caring and empathy for each other.”

“The art is absolutely beautiful. Khary Randolph draws an awesome griffin (oh yeah, there's griffins) and colourist Emilio Lopez makes the magic really really pretty, there are these blue 'force lightning' effects that light up the whole page.”
