Mindless violence followed by reasonable discussion! That's why I love Robert Kirkman's comics. Wolf-Man has gone beserk, attacking the Face and forcing an unpleasant face-off with the warden, but when W-M gets to explain himself the next day, things get smoothed over. Very professional! I like the way Cecil Stedman from Invincible has such an important role in this book. He's really helping out W-M now, doing everything he can to help him out of prison and to get the charges against him dropped. It's nice seeing Cecil isn't the evil guy that Invincible thinks he is over in the other book. The Kirkman corner of the the Image universe is developing in some neat ways, but I will say I'm not sure how new reader friendly this series is. Characters aren't really re-introduced at all, if you don't already know what's going on, this would be mighty confusing.
Jason Howard has that great mix of cartoony and realistic. The Face really isn't very intimidating looking, but his look with the hood is pretty spooky. Howard's style handles action in a really dynamic way, the way the action always breaks out so suddenly in this book wouldn't work as well with another artist.
