Art

Artist Dax Gordine does a good job of bringing the world of the Little Marvels to life while keeping the characters in Skottie Young’s characteristic style.  The scenes are brightened and brought to life by Jean-Francois Beaulieu who uses bold crisp colors with enough shading to make objects appear three-dimensional.

 

Nate Piekos & Joe Caramagna use capital letters with some bolding to make it easy for the reader to follow the dialogue between the characters.

 

 

Final Thoughts

Along with the fun stories, I enjoyed seeing how many different Marvel characters I could spot in the pages of Giant-Size Little Marvels #1.  Pick up a copy and see if you can find your favorite characters.
