I received a free copy from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This had a really interesting premise, but I wasn't a fan of the execution - I ended up quite bored instead of invested and didn't really click with the characters or the art.

Vertigo has had its ups and downs since many of its great titles including Fables, Preacher and other ended leaving the publisher in a identity crisis. Art Ops is a sort of return to this era through a mad cap story of art and 60s futurism. While it has a bit of plot holes and struggles to find its footing with in the first two issues, its a wild ride with the characters that Simon and Allred created (Allred art is the winner of this series.) Overall the craziness of this book reminded me of Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol. Good fun that could see Vertigo return to its place as a boundary pusher.
