• Plot- or character-driven? A mix

These comics are, to put it lightly, confusing as fuck. They not only contradict previous canon about the setting, but they have confusing time skips, confusing character writing, random plot points that never get resolved, and more. I can’t say that I remember much about these books that would make sense.

It’s also worth pointing out that the only prevalent black character in this book is a violent fighter who dons an animal mask to attack people. There’s some iffy stuff with the trans character in this book, as well as with the two (implied) Latina characters. 

All in all, I did not really enjoy this comic. It’s only saving Grace is the amazing art
