An open letter to Darwyn Cooke: After the one-two punch of DC: The New Frontier and your issue of Solo, I though you were the shizznit.

If James Simes' photo of your adaptation of Richard Stark’s Parker: The Hunter is any indication, you're still one talented sonuvagun. (That, or the aliens gave finally you back. In which case: Thanks, aliens! I've missed him!)
