May 25, 2013 10:57 am I have come to learn how funny it is that tastes run so differently from one individual to the next. While I might agree with you about writer changes in other books, I really took to Lemire's work. This is the first time I've read any of his writing, and it has compelled me to want to read other books he's written. My (personal) track record with Milligan has been so-so at best. Vive la deference! as they say... I will agree, though, you're right about characters kind of popping in out of nowhere. That's probably the big editorial wheel turning...

May 19, 2013 12:52 pm Tomas Giorello - destroyed the last half of this book. There is no -- I mean none whatsoever -- similarity between his and Gleasons artistic style. Damian what virtually unrecognizable in the the second half of this book. Sad.

April 22, 2013 10:36 pm Me too. I'm with you 100%.

April 22, 2013 5:29 pm Um, bad art sucks for this book.

April 21, 2013 2:46 pm He is. (Hard to ignore...)

April 18, 2013 10:17 pm Belated response, but I sooo concur. This is probably the best storytelling I've read in comic form. And, the art is so well matched for this type of story -- probably what pushes the whole thing right to the top for me.

April 12, 2013 8:57 pm It all came down to being a little pointless and dumb to me. A cliffhanger would have been better -- as I would have been less disappointed that I invested 24 x $2.99 to get to this point in the story. So many ideas started well, then went essentially nowhere...

April 12, 2013 7:31 pm I guess I'm a really sappy reader, because I really liked the dialogue in this story (aka the "will you be my friend?" issue). And, hey -- was this some crazy good art from Tony Daniel?!? What's up, Tony? You did good, bud. My eyes are dancing all over some beautifully rendered pages: both back- and foreground. Maybe Friend and Batt are some guys worth pairing up with? Because. this alliance of penciling and inking is *working*! Backup story was good, too...
