Notes:
(1) I've read enough Mark Millar to reflexively check the publication date when I start new series. If it's the Netflix era of Millarworld, there's a good chance barely any effort was put into the story.
- This bears the dreaded Netflix logo, and so my hopes aren't very high.
(2) On the bright side, we get Rafael Albuquerque art, so it'll at least be nice to look at.

Notes:
(1) The final issue has some clever parts but, ultimately, when the hero is so unlikeable and smug that it makes you root for the villain, any positive aspects become null and void.
(2) Really, Edison Crane is only a hero by default/contrast. A ridiculous amount of turpitude is slathered on the villain.
- He literally hunts children and goes by the name Grand Dragon.

Notes:
(1) This is "low-effort Mark Millar" almost to the point of parody.
- Past the initial concept, it's pretty much been highlight reel storytelling.
(2) I have no problem with genius characters, but Sherlock Holmes and the like actually show their work. Edison Crane here (literally) pulls solutions out of thin air.
- No dots are ever connected! He's a human cheat code!
