The New 52 hasn’t been a really big hit with me, I want to be honest with that right at the beginning. I was picking up Justice League, Aquaman, Batman, Green Lantern, and so on at the beginning.

The art style is scratchy, very Alex Maleev inspired in my mind (most well known for his epic work on Daredevil). The art, the musical score, it all works great for this! Plus, from […]
