Art is ugly and who tf is Jake? DC please just stick with a name. The more revealed about this the less I grew interested. At least KSD is doing good so far with Jackson.

Yeah, the art doesn't really do it for me either, which kind of surprises me since the art on most of the DC young adult books has been pretty good so far.

That's DC for you, making things unnecessarily complicated.

I'm really trying hard not to judge but calling that art "ugly" is just disheartening...... And this is out of continuity, then can call him Jake or John. It doesn't mattter.

I still like this design over his Aquaman one.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of that mind-set towards aesthetics. The art itself is actually pretty cool, and seems to fit the tone of the story the writer is telling, based on its visuals so far.
You're also right on the name, since it's AU.

The art reminds me of a children's book, that's just the way this style looks artistically.

Generally I have seen art like this more for 4-8 grade books.
Julie Maroh has done better art. See Blue in the Warmest Color. Although she took 5 years on that book. We don't know how long she had to do Aqualad's book.
They have the right writer through. One of books is known as the film Right by Me-A Japanese version or Rainbow Boys.

I'm here for this! say what you want about Bendis, I feel he does a good job making the world feel more interconnected and playing with newer/smaller fan-favorite characters.

Woah, both Jackson [I]and[/I] Derek! Cool! Wonder how that'll go? And I love how Aqualad is centerpieced in that image! :)

[QUOTE=Frontier;4708805]Is that Arrowette?[/QUOTE]Yep. That's the costume she wore when she was avenging her murdered therapist in the original run.
