(Told you I'd catch up!)
Oooo, I had no idea what the hell was going on in this comic. Not a clue.
My only other exposure to the character Arion in my 34 years of reading superhero comics is his brief inclusion in the original Crisis on Infinite Earths. That's it. He starts out as a back-up feature in The Warlord (I think), so we will be seeing quite a bit of Arion as soon as I track down those last 3 issues. But for now, I think there was time travel involved, and Arion met his father, I think. This is one of those comics that, one day, will make retrospective sense.
This comic has given me a very cool demonstration of the differences an inker makes. The comics are only a few years apart, so I'm going to assume that Ms. Duursema's work remained fairly consistent. But the comics look so different, thanks of course to the inking of Tom Mandrake (Arion) and of Jan Duursema's own inking on AD&D. I like to see examples of that stuff. It makes me appreciate the amount of work that goes into a comic that much more.
