The hand lettering is always a win visually! It’s something I’ve always wanted to do because it definitely maintains the intended energy desired by the author. It’s like the process from raw sketches to clean lines—there’s always some loss energy and/or emotion. Also couldn’t agree more that it’s like a conversation!

100% agree. I'm annoyed when I lose the energy in my pencils after inking, and do I feel that the same effect happens in many digital lettering cases. But I also totally get it... lettering takes a very long time as you know lol. Digital can really streamline things

I also have been enjoying the ONI EC anthologies. Cruel Universe has been better in my opinion, in that it has stuck to and excelled at the tried and true structure of the final page twist.
