Solicitation and Preview
Review
I have to start this by addressing the art. This entire series has suffered from the art just not flowing smoothly from issue to issue and from guest artist to guest artist. Don't trust the cover art, it is not what you get on the inside.
What we do get in the inside is something that just doesn't work for what the rest of the Rotworld crossover has done. There is a very cartoony look to the art. By cartoony, I mean that this artist could probably work on a DC animated series like Batman or Justice League. That's not a bad thing for the artist, but it isn't a match for this series.
Remember what I said in the Animal Man review about how this series would probably hit a reset button for the heroes? Yep, that gets hit this issue. Before that though, we get introduced to the Parliament of the Rot, which basically says that Arcane is out of control.
OK.
I just want this series to be over with. I want to see what the finale brings and then re-read this series and Animal Man and see if things are actually more grandiose in nature as this series and the creators led off with.
All the revelations in this issue are revelations that both main characters have been told for a while now. What is the point of repeating itself with each issue?
