I enjoyed the art in this book, it wasn't trying to be too experimental, too high-end or too sparse. It takes little risk in layout and even the digitized POV used at the end of the book could look strange, but doesn't. As for the series, I'm looking forward to seeing how Ben's decision affects his finances, his popularity and ultimately his existence as the city's new protector.

I thoroughly enjoyed this issue and while nothing extremely monumental happened the potential continues to be there.

Shock and awe seems to be Millar's cup of tea, but it makes me fear for this book in terms of what kind of shock treatment he will use this time (we don't need another gang rape or anything like that at all) I am thankful that the book wasn't offensive like I expected it to be but I'm not terribly excited to read any further. However I will do so, to monitor how the series progresses.

I enjoyed the first issue, though not as much as I thought I would from a storytelling standpoint -- though since I'm not familiar with Paul Tobin I don't want to write him off just yet. Hopefully as the story unfolds it will become clearer; however, I agree with John that it should've been written with new readers in mind instead of the original fans of the franchise.

I loved the Spider-Men crossover. But part of me thinks this is a setup for Miles to finally step out of his predecessor's shadow.

Roscoe's planned revenge on the banks that helped cause the country's recession will most likely throw more shade at the country's ideologies and manner of governing as a whole. I'm slowly starting to understand this series -- or at least get an idea of what it's about and I'll stick around until it's over to see if it doesn't teach us something about ourselves and the country.

I enjoyed this book and hope to see more of Eric's interactions with his wife and what he hopes to accomplish as the new Skyman.

I feel like this book is off to a good start though I must say that it feels suspiciously like a pitch for a film. But I look forward to the mysteries that unfold with this.

I continue to look forward to this book and what happens next. I wonder if Dante and Veil will get back together and how their dynamic will be perceived by the world. A gun toting black man traveling with a seemingly helpless and amnesic white woman seems like the set-up for a Patrice O<'Neil joke but in this case it works

This story is not only engaging but extremely well-told and I wouldn't be surprised if Walker was soon getting calls from Marvel and DC to write for the characters of color they're going to be pushing soon (namely Cyborg and Black Panther).

If this is the shape of things to come then I hope the series starts coming out more frequently because I cannot wait for this journey. There were so many WTF moments in this issue that didn't feel like shock value. Instead they seem like a preview of what's to come and I welcome it.

I first encountered Dean Ormston's art in Sy Spencer's Books of Magick: Life During Wartime. His art was never the greatest in comics, but it works well in settings where people are being disemboweled or decapitated on a large scale. The most striking thing about the art is the eyes of the main character, which look like those of a diseased insect and matches the feral nature of the Visigothic warrior. This book is getting off to a great start and until Jackie returns I look forward to more stories of the Estacado clan.

Not only do I look forward to reading more of this series, I'm extremely glad I read this comic.
