I don't know if one could ask "how does one keep anti-drama interesting?" since I don't agree that his images are devoid of drama, they are just devoid of many of the stereotypes used to make comics seem dramatic. But all analysis asides the pictures are really, really great! He's so good that he could use those stereotypes and make them good, he just has the sensibility to make things look really cool!
