Kudos for making a character like this so strange and unsettling through the art, but it does make the book hard to read at times. Probably not the best book to read when feeling under the weather because the art is very much quite the thing

this was a bummer. i really like matt wagner, and his art
was good, but this was just a terrible ripoff of batman.
apparently, it's a "real" DC character from way back,
but it was clearly DC ripping off their own successful
property. wagner tried to stay close to the original,
which would be the correct choice if the character
were original and interesting, but was a mistake here.
as for the story, it moved ridiculously fast, but in circles,
and never went anywhere. every single character was a
cardboard cutout. it seems as though he got the project,
thought up some cool paintings, then just strung them
together in some sequence, logical or not, trying to
hit the expected number of pages.
