Ok, I know what you're thinking.

But this was good!

I expected absolutely nothing from this book, nothing at all, at I was very pleasantly suprised to see what the writer did with the characters.

Alex Ross may have had a hand in this, because this was really impressive, the art was SUPERB, matching the anime in every aspect, and the characters were modernized, less cliche, and more mature, they felt evolved, as did the situation.

I'll definitely be picking this book up.

Oh, and I got the Ross cover(of course), though I actually thought about going back and buying the other 4 after reading it.

Good luck, Animalman. I heard it sold out in most places in less than an hour after it hit the stands.

I hit my shop around 4:30 yesterday and I think they were out of the 2nd cover...but still had plenty of the others to go around.

And I loved this issue! [humina humina]

As Animalman said, the art styling was straight out of the old series and the characters are more mature. If the rest of the books can keep up this quality it'll be fantastic!

I meant picking up as in picking it up regularly, fortunately I already got to shop, bought two copies(the silver foil Ross cover and the Campbell cover).

Glad you liked it Bianca! :)
