Common Grounds #1
In "Beyond the Speed of Life," writer Troy Hickman and artist Michael Avon Oeming introduce a quietly surreal moment as the unlikely duo Mental Midget and his arch nemesis Man-Witch share a rare, intimate pause at the local Common Grounds donut shop. With colors by Peter Pantazis and letters by Dreamer Design, Robin Spehar, Mark Roslan, and Dennis Heisler, the issue blends offbeat character dynamics with a grounded, slice-of-life vibe. The cover by J. Scott Campbell and Matt Milla captures the odd camaraderie with a touch of whimsy.
