This Tomas Aira truly is a masterful artist!
-something in his drawing style looks familiar to me, though I can't quite put my finger on it... according to what I found on the internet about him, he seems to do mainstream comics as well, so perhaps that's where I might have seen his work before...-
Now, in these days where full-colour visuals are common, a black & white e-comic might seem outdated to some, but this one proves that is not true. Tomas' lineart MORE than makes up for the absence of colours. His mastery of facial expressions and anatomy -especially where it comes to dynamic tickle scenes- could make any fellow artist jealous (if jealousy among artists would be possible at all)
The "strapped" tickling scene (as is promised in the cover) is my personal favourite. The bondage is simple but oh so effective, again masterfully rendered by the artist's pencil. I don't know wether this is Tomas Aira's first venture in the world of tickling fetish comics, but I hope he will continue to draw this kind of stuff; it's just that great!

As for the story, J.R. has taken the classic "revenge" motive, but twisted it into something new that is quite refreshing to read. This comes as no surprise to me, since I thorougly enjoyed "Barefoot Heights", which he created with Dr. Dave.

I'm very much looking forward to how This new series concept is going to evolve. The teaming up of different artists and writers sure sounds like a great idea to me!
