I was on record as saying I wasn’t a big fan of the first issue of this series but this definitely redeemed my faith in Johns/Van Sciver.  The biggest difference for me was in the art.  EVS wasn’t channeling George Perez this time around.  There was use of negative space and not every nook and cranny of each panel was crammed with something.  On top of that, the story is going someplace interesting.  I’m not sure where that is yet, but I’m definitely more into this than I was after the first issue.  Can’t wait for the next one.
