DC's Absolute line was the hottest thing in comics this year, but it wouldn't have worked if the artwork in the books was lousy. While I wasn't the biggest fan of Absolute Wonder Woman, the artwork by Hayden Sherman was fantastic and fit the mythic world perfectly. Sherman also finished drawing the twelve issue Batman: Dark Patterns, a book that was much better thanks to great artwork. Sherman's art is cartoony in a sense but vibrant. It jumps off the page. He plays with panel sizes and different viewpoints which always makes reading the books he works on unique and intriguing. I had no idea who this artist was a year ago, and now he's a fucking star.
