Titan Comics has had some great pulp and sci-fi offerings this fall, not least of which is the mini-series Number Cruncher. Simon Spurrier, the current writer behind Marvel’s X-men Legacy, and P.J. Holden are the creators/owners behind Number Cruncher from Titan Comics. The art is delectable and brings up memories of Fearless, from Image Comics, and the controversial mobile comic Murderdrome. The colorist is my MVP from last week’s 5 and 3, Jordie Bellaire who should give a clinic on her coloring. The comics time travel shennanigans told with the use of color should sell you on the book, but Si Spurrier does a better job himself in this SDCC 2013 announcement.
If Spurrier telling you that the book is, “About love, the fabric of the universe and casual ultra-violence,” didn’t convince you to pick it up, here is the solicit followed by some wonderful preview pages.
