Yeah well this is my blog and I’m a bit upset about this. I can’t say I was completely and utterly in love with this book. For a start it didn’t have my favorite characters in it, and it wasn’t really snappy enough for me. The thing is however is that it really was unique in the comic book industry. It was telling the lives of the people who were trying to change the world, in the only way the current world seems to want to change, through money. Forget about fists and wars, it’s all about the money. Not so much the money itself but what people do with it. And I suppose from that point of view it was smart reading. I’ve got two trade paperbacks sitting right next to me. That’s 12 issues, and not a single guest artist, one man dealing with the art and tone of the entire series. Slick as hell, and just generally very well put together.

The actual covers were a collaboration of Dustin Nguyen (the artist) and Rian Hughes. He can be found here Not a bad little site, but his work does truely inspire me in terms of graphic design. An incredibly versatile artist/designer. I’ll hopefully review his book at some point.
So this is a pretty crummy time for my collecting habits because I actually looked forward to this book. Oh well, they’ll hopefully revive it at some point in the future and maybe they keep ideas from this one but get a more competent writer to instill a lot of excitement in the series, who knows.
