Bone's approach is so much different than the traditional Stevens model for the characters that's a whole new world we enter. Bone has an animation style which is in my opinion appropriate for the Rocketeer genre, but it is sure a different approach. But maybe this wasn't the story to start Bone on.
The story brings to the sunny Rocketeer universe echoes of the terrors of H.P. Lovecraft. The atmospheric approach for these kinds of stories seems perhaps a bit undermined by Bone's light frisky artwork. More in keeping with the tone of the material are the Walt Simonson covers which are seen below. I admit, I wish he'd drawn the series.
The market for new Rocketeer is I would expect a robust one as we'll see in the coming days.
