Outside of some costuming gripes (Many characters just shopping at Target for their superhero duds), and a couple stinker episodes (the one with the bee girl. Ugh) the first season was pretty fantastic. A lot of great humor.
Joe and his relationship with Barry are a highlight, and Cisco really is the thing that most embodies the differences between Flash and Arrow. Cisco is amazing.
I loved 2099 back in the 90's and placing him in a contemporary setting with all the other spider characters just wasn't as fun as having him evade the cops gliding between mega skyscrapers and such.
I just really wish they'd put him in the future where he belongs
EDIT: unless he went back to 2099 after secret wars... I realized I'm out of the loop so maybe I'm just wrong and should be picking this up
When I look at the other covers, and I mean this as no disrespect to very talented artists, it really reinforces to me that Staples' was definitely the best choice for this book.
Love the look. I think her Archie perfectly walks that tightrope between "some guy" and "cool kid". Super good stuff. Loved issue one, so very excited for more.
His fight with Bruiser in Waid's run sort of convinced me of his uncanny ability to find a chink in the armor, and the tube gushing loud liquid into his spine is a far more noticeable flaw than some creaky joints.
It would likely be a hard fought victory, Bane is no slouch... But I think DD scrapes by with this
