1.0

Proof positive of just how rotten and cynical and stupid The New 52 was - some decent storytelling (mostly Snyder and Lemire) hampered by cramming in as many wink nudge references to the past as they can get which completely undermines the apparent point of the exercise of The New 52: freeing the company of years of baggage and dense plotting. Instead it’s all humdrum storytelling with rushed art and knowing character beats - but that sure as hell doesn’t make a good or entertaining or enjoyable comic to actually read

Stunningly bad
