> AWESOME. Alex Ross is probably one of the best-known artists in comics. It’s clear you didn’t recognize his style, but that’s cool, because you brought a fresh, unbiased opinion.

Er, thanks. I thought that it might be Ross, but it was so bad I thought that it was an imitator. I actually enjoyed the recent JSA covers.

The latest in a swarm of neo-Gooth comics, _Oddly Normal_ (the lead character’s name), is well written, & nicely drawn.

I can recommend it as a change of pace from the Caped & Cowled stuff.
