Oh, MAN!
These two pages -- especially the second-- gave me a *serious* flashback to Don McGregor's Black Panther. (This guy's going to get horribly wounded all the time, right?) Okay, you can still see the art for the captions, but otherwise it just feels spot on. Even a bit of Billy Graham in the art.
(That's a compliment, BTW. I hadn't realized that I miss hyperbolic captions so much!)

Pretty cool use of faces, um facing, each other in the sky and water.
Rain makes good art!

Beautiful work, Mike. Great use of dynamic speed brush-lines. Carry on!

I didn't even notice the face in the water until Tim noted it above. Nice!

No wonder the MTA prices are going up -- repairs for the many fights between extradimensional deities.
Very nice work.

When did you get so good? Crazy good, I mean. Stop it. GO back to playing ping pong like a pro and stop making cool comix.

This was the page that made me realize you were serious about doing LOVIATHAN for the long haul.

Hey, thanks everyone. Having people read along and comment is what makes ACT-I-VATE tick. Without it, I would probably give up!
Nice to see you all here, especially Mr. Lovelace and Jane. Thanks for stopping by!
Jim H.- I've never read any Black Panther comics, but I liked MacGregor's "Nathaniel Dusk".
Clearly, I love not only Stan's classic hyperbole, but also the sense of density. Stories seemed to progress in leaps and bounds. Stan and Jack did in 5 pages what seems to take 5 issues nowadays.
Dean - But this one was easy!
