"YES. More of this please."
How could you not enjoy the labor of love this tribute project represents? The original graphic novel received a 4.7 on Amazon and 9.8 Critic Rating on Comic Book Round Up. I gave it a perfect score. I thoroughly appreciate a master that has nothing left to prove, still able to find a creative spark to reinvent themselves. Ross released some videos on his YouTube channel revealing the lengths of his new processes. I was shocked in one interview he revealed it only took him three months to draw Full Circle. He also expresses his deep appreciation for Kirby’s work and even the influence of Neal Adams on his penciled style. (While often the main criticism by reviewers) I think Ross’s story reflects a deep love, insight, and understanding of the characters. The FF were in worthy hands and the result was pure comic gold.
