Keeping in mind that I'm not the target audience for book, I have to say that it is very enjoyable. The art matches the tone of the writing & Linella is mostly written like a child.

Bendis = Boring. Jessica Jones is uninteresting & the scene with Fisk & Danny was not good. Poor characterization. Pretty good art. Colors are a bit weird I think.

Robert Venditti & Ethan Van Sciver have done an amazing job on this issue. The pacing was a bit reminiscent of a tv procedurally, but that works here. Yes, it made the pacing a bit slow in some parts, but that's the only thing I could complain about. Ethan's art is really wonderful & it's nice to see an artist of his ability on this book.

Did the critics actually read this piece of trash, or did they randomly decide that a score of 8 is good? Riri, as a character, is trash. If you don't get that from this issue, you're not paying attention.

I disagree.

It's hypocritical to imply that the critics are being arbitrary and then slap a 1.0 on the comic because "the protagonist is trash."
