I see a lot of Darwyn Cooke in the show's style, especially the women's wider faces?

This is the example I always use when this subject comes up; the colourists knew what the end result would look like and coloured accordingly. So the sky on the original looked like dusk. The reprint uses the exact same colour codes, but the sky looks like a sunny day when it's not on newsprint.

Nowlan’ a choice makes sense in context: Dr Doom is not a regular in Dr Strange and his first appearance on the story is therefore an establishing shot to show Doom’s world to Dr Strange readers. The reverse is true in Fantastic Four so Byrne’s storytelling choices makes sense in a Doomcentric issue

Or maybe Nowlan's page moves in, conveys increasing tension, and mirrors Doom's thought process of increasingly focusing towards his ultimate decision? [4/3]

Nowlan's art does the reverse, starting with a wide kingdom shot and houses, moving in closer to Doom, and ending with a close-up on Doom. It's lovely and stage-setting, maybe the contrast is an art choice, but since it's in the reverse of Doom's inward-to-outward thinking, IMO it's weaker. [3/3]

Byrne's art mirrors the scope of the thinking. We get the eyes close-up, but the overall page is moving away from Doom, with the ending panel panning out with a wider shot of the houses and the kingdom he decides he must guide. [2/3]
