Larry Young continues to confound me. After the one shot Black Diamond: The On Ramp, I thought I knew what to expect from the first issue of this mini; a hard-living, fast-car road story. I didn’t get it. After issue #1, I thought I knew what to expect in the second issue; a hard-living, fast-car road story. Instead, it’s everything but that with the fast car showing up just in time for the last page and “to be continued.”
What I didn’t expect this issue was the artwork of Jon Proctor. I don’t know exactly what happened but between the first and second issue, his artwork changed. The layouts are more interesting, the colors are more varied and pleasing. The whole story just flows better. In the first issue, Proctor was a great draftsman, drawing cars and buildings. But now, the story feels adventurous.
