issue #1: emma rios’ writing in “sisyphus” is really lyrical i love it. 

 

issue #2: the art for “the unjust judge” is rly interesting to the eye. sophie campell’s art in “all cats are grey” is really striking esp just in black & white! dustin weaver’s “batman: dual” just reminds me of us (2019) dir. jordan peele which is kinda cool.
