CAPTAIN VICTORY & THE GALACTIC RANGERS: Writer Joe Casey is taking a somewhat different approach to this title than he did toward the Kirby-ish Godland. Frankly, the art is a bit too “experimental” for my taste, but I’ll give it another issue or two.
NIGHTWORLD: This has a very Kirby feel to it in both story and art. (It’s a kind of horror comic, somewhat in line with The Demon.) If only Captain Victory had the art of Nightworld.

As I said in a Comics Guide at some point, I'm not a fan of Kirby pastiches. Without the man's manic imagination behind it, it's just poor drawing to me.
Jeff, I loved the artwork on Captain Victory, but I found the writing to be a bit rambly and trippy, and not in the best of ways. I believe this art team is amongst the same that drew Joe Casey's Catalyst Comix from Dark Horse, which had similar highs and lows.
You Jeffs are making me curious about this book.
