I picked this book up b/c the Milestone characters were making a comeback. Too bad their return was "heralded" by mediocre art and some of the worst writing in mainstream comics. I can't believe DC continues to leave this creative team on what should be a flagship title.
As excited as I was for more diversity in the DCU, this comes as a terrible disappointment. I've never been a fan of Benes. Maybe he's not bad, he's just not my style. Everyone seems too posed all the time, with no more than two body shapes (hot male and hot female). At least that's one more character type than McDuffie seems capable of writing. I don't think there is a single thing to distinguish one character's voice from another. You could mix up all the thought balloons in this title since he started, and it wouldn't make a difference. I know some people like McDuffie's work. It must be for the overall story, because I think his voice is non-existant, and his character work is extremely limited.
