This one was a real disappointment for me! I love the Wildstorm characters featured in this book, particularly as portrayed back in the day by Warren Ellis and co., so I had really high hopes for this concept. I haven’t read a lot of Paul Cornell’s work, but what I have seen in Action Comics I thoroughly enjoyed. But this book just did not entertain me in any way, shape or form!
I might have been willing to give Cornell the benefit of the doubt and try a couple more issues before deciding whether to drop this book or not, had it not been for the mediocre (I’m being generous here, actually ugly was the first word to spring to mind)artwork by Sepulveda, the worst aspect of which has to be the unnecessary and gruesome redesign of the Midnighter costume. As it is there are so many other, more interesting and attractive titles coming out of the DC relaunch that I am not really in a position where I can justify giving poor books a chance to win me over.
