Good color artwork. Dark horse freebie. This would be easier to review if it was 32pages, not 12pages. These are basically a chapter at a time. This plot of a faulty system is extremely common, even the WB uses it. The artwork is quite good, they should just put some product out. Look at what they do with hellboy!
