There is NO WAY this comic was worth the $7 price tag!

I honestly cannot remember the last time I was this bored reading a Batman comic. The beginning starts with a ton of exposition, by the time the headless victim shows up I had already checked out. The story meanders a bit more until Batman finally shows up in one of the most wonky, awkward, unsatisfying splash pages I've ever seen. Not helped by the fact that Batman's cowl is drawn overly bulky. The cowl is also inconsistently drawn from panel to panel, making for a very jarring reading experience. If there is no clear distinct vision of the story's main character, then please don't bother trying to tell a story about them.
The art, while polished is quite dull. Characters look very posed and stiff. Much of the backgrounds look like traced photos, and at times looked rushed and very sloppy. The color is really nice at parts, but they cannot seem to make up their mind to go all dull and gritty, or overly vibrant. But most important is the fact that this comic is just not worth the price of admission. It's a rip off.

After this dull first issue, I'm not even sure this comic will even be worth trade waiting. more

Poor writing and dialogue get in the way of what could be an interesting story, wasting some good (especially character) art.

At last, a hero I can relate to! He is also still masking! (First overt reference in any DC book to the pandemic?)

A promising start by an accomplished talent, and nice that a new book can launch without having a guest appearance by a big name hero.

It is a great start. Better than I expected. Also, the ending makes me even more eager for the next issue.

A really good, if at times a bit cliche, introduction to a new-ish character. The art is fine throughout, and the issue ends with a hell of a cliffhanger.

Very good intro to the team— just what a #1 book should be. MacKay mostly hits the voices of the characters, excelling at writing team leader, Carol Danvers. Art is good but I wish it was a little clearer and more colorful at times.

A decent start to a title IF you already know a bit about the characters. Not something I’d go out of my way to continue.
