The art’s a little better. Paul Lee is one of the better painters in comics and it’s a bit of a shame to use him as just a breakdown artist for the kids who’ve been drawing it.

I liked it. Very non-linear. It also harkened back to the themes developed in **Babylon 5** about sacrifice.

“How do you know the chosen ones? No greater love hath a man than he lay down his life for his brother. Not for millions, … not for glory, not for fame. For one person, … in the dark … where no one will ever know … or see.”  
– Sebastian to Delenn & Sheridan in Babylon 5:“Comes the Inquisitor”
