Thanks Salant. Zircher is doing a good job on the Solomon Kane story. I managed to find 3 unlettered pages that Richard Pace shared in a Youtube video. Sorry about the quality of the screen grabs: ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXYhgYDxDo4UZCtmWgmydR3irV2UxHu-_XJc9JzfJFbEtYyVDIC4jaCeSm9PpJBqDKrJwIX9XYrM2-wxkmsfr3C_o5JPXsQvDuZRxQppl8Oz8agwcYEcLOjsk2cLlaFR8WrFXy60dCO47tMFl-KCL3CKRKQaW1rBmcExGRMbrWOedSCUz6UZqoW4EB/s750/1.png) ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4nQ_bgW4VBum74_UcVKTPXwreZ2WJQmI9C1GBLQfZG8wFKaMF3-dWlxQpNpnxTIMNXoyR2i6zP7IhinDdgjZXqJsIB2un457CNGN8FlrSslRFkrbGXPA-hDQqQrzy-_EvLew6PpWn6gmiimGBL10JpES7BG6jR6kyqYgFf1gjtNhp-EmJp3LDk-Aj/s600/3.png)

I read it and liked it very much. The art is not exactly what I prefer because it is very different from the Buscema I got used to in the old Savage Sword. Some panels look like a sketch and I don't like them, but in general I was pleased. The story in # 2 is better than the previous one. There are no beautiful women around this time but the narrative is engaging. Overall it is a solid effort and I'd say a better product than # 1.

Printing is much bette than #1.! Blacks are nice and black, and art is more suited to b&w newsprint. Big improvement.

Malmberg made a social media post stating how he liked how the printing turned out, especially how the subtle details of Zircher lighting effect on Kane's light, as if a direct response to people's criticism. Its OK, Titan has to start somewhere and they ironing out the wrinkles.

I personally didn't care for the art style (some of the panels/scenes were great, some looked like quick sketches to fill space). I also felt like there was a disconnect between the art and narrative (especially the 3rd act), overall there were idea's and concepts of the story that just didn't get the definition/attention that they should have. IMO, the story and art of SSOC # 2 felt like a rough draft, not a finished product.
