apropos of sweet f.a. except for it's on topic:

Richard Corben gave the Queen all the best fight scenes.

Sincerely.  Corben's a guy who I read a Fight Comic for.  There's a bloody-minded intensity to the fights he stages for her.  In 'Muvovum' the Queen breaks all the limbs on an old man, bites off his finger, and throws him out a window.  She's terrifying.  But that's small potatoes to the HALF-A-GRAPHIC-NOVEL-WORTH of fights he gives Kil, in 'Children of Fire'.  I'm exaggerating because I always do, but for serious, nearly half the page count in this book was Kil curbstomping a murderously stupid lizard man.

GLORIOUS.
