Not as Bad as I have heard
Format: Paperback
Decided to order this book I had heard so many bad things about it. But to my surprise it was pretty darn good.. I have two complaints. 1. The art in issue #6 was up to par. 2.. It ended to soon. Would like to have seen it continue at least up to issues 24 or 25 giving a new creative team a chance to see where they could take these characters.
