Talk about your comic that bounced back. Seriously.
I was ready to write off this book after the first issue, but I am glad that I came back. The things that irked me in the first issue went to the wayside, and focus came in. Characterization came in. Reason for this comic being came in.
This is the Bat-Team up book that looks at magic as something to seriously look at. This is a story telling device that comes in handy to show the difference between it and Batman. These characters aren't necessarily going for redemption, but they are showing that they belong in this world as well. That there is a place for them.
And, despite me wanting nothing to do with the art in this book, it has grown on me. It has gotten past the cheesecake personality it had and delved into more of a fantasy style. I still think it could use some improvement, but for right now it is doing pretty average.
This book has quickly become one that I look forward to reading. That's a huge step up from me thinking that I couldn't wait to drop it. Let's see where it goes from here.
