He's only getting more popular and with what he has coming later this year, I think the trend will continue.

I don't think the market is oversaturated with his prints currently, although his print releases have been more frequent in the last year or so.

I think it just seems that way if you are looking to buy every release.

Much like Endless Sleep, although stylistically the same, this image/story is a slight departure from his "usual" output, which is refreshing.

Yes, this depiction of a post-rape cumpocalypse is quite refreshing.

It deviates from his usual depiction of naked stabbing men, so yes, in that context, it is refreshing. Would you rather he sugarcoat the image and betray the realities of war, power, triumph and defeat?

Ha, good lels on this page.

The art? Well, there's beauty in brutality, yo.

Props for the horizon blob and corresponding right and left trailing edge blobs. Cleon is a master of composition. :clap:
