        I know but at least like some stuff isn't as bad, his stuff sounds like something in a Disney/Nick show but with random ''adult'' shit throw in.

          Even worse than Tom King, Mitch Gerards literally traces photos, every single panel is a trace. This is what Mitch's art looks like when he is not tracing photos

              He can't draw unless he is tracing photographs on a computer. When asked to draw without tracing he is useless. He was awarded an eisner as the best artist in comics too kek

          King's idea of "adult" is making all the characters he takes on into depressive sad sacks, and throwing in as many childishly censored swear words into the script as possible. And he does a lot of second-rate Bendising, too
          The man's a hack through and through, and I positively hate the fact that he's some critical darling right now who's work is gonna be the basis for movies

    Kind of odd, though apparently she views them as brothers and they have a long history, so it could just be banter.

    I actually like how he wrote Damian here. I wouldn't mind reading more of his Damian as Batman.

    Lizzie is 19 but Damian and Jon are in their late 30s here. So the dynamic feels like they are meant to be closer in age but they really aren't.
