Is it just me or does anyone else think the art in Defoe has a bit of a Kevin O’Neill feel circa Nemesis book 1 about it? Not quite as good mind...
When some were complaining about the density and complexity of Moore's art and storytelling, I was going to post a page of O'Neill from
Nemesis, but that would have been the cue for lots of replies pointing out (
correctly) that Moore's art isn't as good as O'Neill's.
Which isn't the point you or I are making. Most people - even
clever people - are incapable of discussing a specific point* without spinning out into irrelevant generalities. This episode's cutaway of the spaceship reminded me of the olden days ...

.. as did the density of both story and art. In a comic showcasing the leisurely storytelling of the very good
Brink and
Hope,
Defoe used up 60% of the plot Tharg allotted for the entire comic.
* That the density, which they've identified as the reason they have a problem with the art or the storytelling, isn't the sole reason they don't like the art. Internet doesn't do nuance.
