Huck #6



Huck, Issue #6 starts with Huck and his mother, Anna, escaping from their holding cell in Siberia.  They do battle with the two A.I.s Professor Orlov has built, but can they capture the professor, himself?  He's doing his best to flee the two meta-humans, but they're hot on his tail.  And remember, Huck is an expert at finding people.  And Anna has the power to order people to do anything.  How can they lose?

Rafael Albuquerque's art and Dave McCaig's coloring are on point, as usual, and I've written about them in previous reviews of this series.  I will say that the pair is very good at creating the illusion of movement, of motion.  They also understand shade very well.  They're true artists.  Nate Piekos of Blambot letters the issue, and he uses the style I like, with horizontal lines pointing slightly up to the right.

Mark Millar is a very prolific writer, and although it saddens me to see this series end (I collected all the variant covers, which are movie references), there are plenty of other titles by this author.  Chrononauts is one of my favorites, and I like Empress so far.  I have Jupiter's Legacy in trade paperback, but I haven't read it yet, and those are just a few of many titles in Millarworld.  Mark Millar has become one of my go-to authors in the world of comics.
