Boom Studios has outdone it this time. Hawks of Outremer #3 is magnificent. From the covers, both very good, but the Joe Jusko cover is delicious. Every panel and point of view in this comic shows a diligence not seeing in many titles and issues. Even though the interior art can be said to be simplistic by some, it is perfect for what is being conveyed in the story; mood and atmospherics are so well balanced with the writing that you want to read it several times just to be exposed to how artists and writer can work to bring forth an excellent product; a magnificent comic. Starting with the scenes of Cormac approaching the castle and then thru the tunnel to save the dame in distress; the combat scenes and subsequent cliff hanger are all so well executed that only the word magnificent describes the experience from the reader’s perspective. This is the best non-Conan interpretation of Robert E Howard’s creation that I have read. A must read for all Howard enthusiasts!!!
