  2. Three pages really stand out for me. Anything Steranko makes my life better. The Champions page with the zip-a-toned warriors of Kaa are great. Don't know why I've always enjoyed zip-a-tone in inking so much. Probably because I first experienced it to such effect by Tom Palmer in Doctor Strange and X-Men. And the Thomas/Smith/Adkins entry from Tower of Shadows is a compact masterpiece from 3 super talents.
