The overall run of Johns work on The Unnamed family of titles has been incredibly ambitious. Johns has been able to carve out a very specific and specifically novel territory for a comic book universe that feels quite fresh and interesting. Its not like Johns is doing anything terribly deep or challenging, but its pretty admirable to see him finding a new niche for a multi-title project. Its impressive to see it continuing as far as it has. Read Full Review
