    Honestly, I absolutely adored it. I'm still waiting for a big reveal or wow moment, but until then, I'm more than happy to keep reading. Another really solid issue and I cannot wait to see the next one. The noir edition of the first issue released as well, which is well worth seeing if you love Samnee's art as much as I do.

    This is a better trip down memory lane! Updating the formative years of the Dynamic Duo is an excellent time within this series. It is such entertainment to see how these two are so different and how they come together. Waid and Samnee give great conflict to our heroes and also find great moments to showcase their growth and respect for each other, which also grows the danger they will eventually face; a fun, worthwhile installment in what is shaping up to be another classic Year One in DC's history.
