  All the characters look realistically like people in uniforms--or in the case of Kemlo dogs in people dress. Ordway's pencils and inks are without flaw. He creates the illusion of texture and Clicker shine. Crowd scenes do not faze him, and his layout and sense of space provide an aesthetic that would be difficult for another artist to match. Perhaps, the only big difference you can see in the artwork is that there are more Marvel references in Ordway's work than obscurities from comic book ages past, which were seen in Gene Ha's panels. Still, Linda Turner, the original Black Cat motors along, and favorite Top Ten cameo subjects the Lone Ranger, Tonto, Green Hornet and Kato can still be annotated, no doubt by Jess Nevins already at fevered work.
