More specifically, Javier and I needed to talk about it. It’s one of the best in comic history reaching the peak of his powers, and folks, we need to talk about it. 3 This isn’t to speak poorly of his previous work, but if it was possible for Rodriguez to take himself to another level, he found it here, delivering astonishing visuals and pitch perfect storytelling at a 100% hit rate. It’s the first series he’s taken on entirely his own, as the artist isn’t just penciling and coloring himself here, but inking as well.
His latest project has been Defenders: Beyond, the sequel mini-series to another he did with writer Al Ewing. If his name is on a book, I will be reading it, and there’s nothing else to consider in the decision making process. No page is ordinary in his hands, instead delivering a chance for the extraordinary in a way few can match.
Every project he takes on lives its very best life, bringing joy to readers and an inescapable sense of wonder to the page. With apologies to all of the other artists working in comics right now, Javier Rodriguez may very well be my favorite.
