Of course Alan said art should make us feel uncomfortable or challenged. So, while I may not be a big fan of watching male characters gloating as they torture a female prisoner, I can safely guess that it won't be the sole content or theme of the series as a whole. That certainly wasn't the case with the TV series. If anything I will probably now catch up on the second issue to understand said torture's context, then keep an eye on where this series is headed.

Another part of its appeal personally is its ability to exquisitely evoke some of the funniest and less ludicrous moments of 90's superhero comics. A pleasant trip down memory lane and a pleasant new journey in one.
