Pages 13 -
15 are the turning point for the story (as well as Dan's life). Anyone who has
seen any promo for the book can figure out that "the event" is the
moment when Dan and everyone on his "slice" of Earth get kidnapped
and transferred to the Jigsaw Earth. For those who come to it late or go in
cold, it will be spelled out later (top of chapter 3). It's a pivotal and
mostly quiet sequence that Matt illustrates with deft simplicity. In fact,
there isn't much else to say except to praise Matt's handling of the material. I
particularly love the almost X-ray look of Dan's hand on page 13, the off
kilter panels on page 14 and the fantastic reveal of the jungle on page 15. He
really nailed the sequence. The story has it's first major turn and nothing
will be the same again.
