Velvet is incredible...just heaps of 1960's-set espionage fun. Steve Epting is killing it visually, his art is stunning and cinematic, dynamic and bristling with energy. Even with all the talking heads there's a forward driving momentum to it making it effortlessly readable. I liked Epting's work on Captain America quite a bit, but this is amazing. Brubaker meanwhile seems to be delighting in a retro-style of storytelling, with lots of jumping between scenes and character narrative that might as well be thought balloons. Any adventure spy (you know, of the Bond/Bourne/Avengers (Steed/Peel etc)/Mission Impossible/U.N.C.L.E. etc) fan absolutely needs to be reading this book.
Was Velvet modeled after Stacy London (ex of What Not To Wear)? Seriously, put these two faces side-by-side...
