Comic Book Review Above the Clouds

This is the subtle part. Artist Melissa Pagluica has drawn two full worlds that interact with each other on the page. Each character is unique and easily identifiable. Various page layouts are just beautiful to behold.

To give you an idea of the strength of the artwork, in the real world, the story moves along without words. Melissa’s art carries the entire story with just facial expressions and character actions.

The fantasy world is equal parts ethereal and solid flowing like the words of a novel.

Like the greatest comic artists, the panels are deep, almost three dimensional. There’s activity happening in the foreground, the middle ground and the background.
