adventurous dark fast-paced

I can't say enough good things about the art in these comics, but this volume is especially wonderful. I don't know how to describe it, but there are very stylised mountainous creatures that seem to be mostly hair and eyes, and they're so flat-out weird that I'm almost more interested in staring at them than I am trying to follow the story. Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying the story, but those eye-creatures are so creepily compelling that they're the best part of this issue for me. I think it's partly because they seem so different from the rest of the artwork, which really underlines their alien character.
