Penciled by Carlo Barberi, the art style used in this book [graphic novel] doesn’t seem to try and emulate the style from Justice League Unlimited, instead using the bold, black outlines, detailed and more realistic faces reminiscent of the animated series, Superman. The story seems to meander at points and doesn’t seem to have a lot of focus. Some of this is caused by periods of lengthy exposition. One thing the book does very well, though, is create a world for the reader. Some of the lengthy exposition is created as Adam Beechen shows the world and the new hero to the reader.This world and its hero are very well crafted.  Heroic Age and Walden Wong did a great job of bringing everything to life with bright colors and an utopian atmosphere. All in all, it’s a great book if you want to dive into something new and different series, but this departure from the norm does seem to take a toll on the focus of the story.
