Unearthed: A Jessica Cruz Story by Lilliam Rivera
2.5
I was thoroughly unimpressed on multiple levels.
There is no DC in this, other than this ostensibly being Jessica Cruz, Jon Stewart being a friend of hers, and this taking place in Coast City. Oh, Jessica gets a green ring at some point but it's just her dad's ring. There's literally NOTHING that ties this to DC otherwise. It's just a story about how anti-immigration policies are blind to the actual harm they cause to people and families who are just trying to live their lives. It's an important story to tell, but to call this a DC tie in is just absurd.
The art was...something. I think I understood what the artist was going for, but it fell flat. The artist can't draw human bodies at all; sometimes Jessica has proper proportions and sometimes she looks like a goomba from the 90s Mario movie. The color work is decent, but it feels muddy and messy at times because the backgrounds feel so unfinished.
Anyway. Overall a simple okay story, but not one that should have been touted as DC anything, and the art wasn't great.
