   Been waiting for this one for forever it seems. As much as I love Mr. Hickman’s work, he’s definitely a "wait for the trade" kind of writer. Can’t wait to read this though.

   Yeah, I want to pick this up, but figure I will wait a few weeks.  Still, glad its finally out.  Hows the art on this?  Vastly different from The Nightly News right? seeing as how its a different artist and all.

   @drake: The art is on the scratchy side. In a good in my eyes. Inking is done mostly in thisck lines. The characterizations are diverse, memorable and consistent throughout. The mostly subdued compositions also fit the documentary tone of the story. All the panels are rectangular, no diagonals. IIRC each issue has at least one of Hickman’s signature diagramatic 2 page spreads. I love those! Hickman is a graphic designer, so am I, so those pages practically make me jizz my jeans.

   On that note…

   P.S: Could one of you who is buying this write a review? I’d like to know if it contains additional material.

   I flipped through this in the store (trying to avoid any spoilers!!) and it didn’t seem to have any extras in the back like Nightly News did.  Bummer.  But the art work had me intrigued.  Still plan on picking this up soon
