I really need to check that book out. I wasn't paying much attention to DC during the Nu52 so I completely missed it. If it's half as good as Snagglepuss and Flinstones though, I'll have a new favorite Nu52 title.
DC really should give Russell whatever book he wants to write.
Does his cousin Snaggletooth from the Quick Draw McGraw show, ever appear?

I feel that way about Snagglepuss, Mister Miracle, Batman, Doctor Star and the Kingdom of Lost Tomorrows, and Doom Patrol, just for starters.
I know some people aren't enjoying anything from DC lately but to me we're living in an age where there are as many great DC books as in the post-Crisis years that brought us the most exciting, enduring DC stories of all time.

I've been reading for a lomg time and I've always been able to find books I've liked. But the two I mentioned have a kind of magic that is extremely rare. DP's the only other book you mentioned that i read but I don't put it in the class of ESL:SP or MM. It's pretty damn good, though.
I'm still amazed that one scene didn't get mentioned anywhere. Am I dwelling too much on my childhood to have that affect me so much? And I'm not even going to put it in spoiler mode. Read issue 5 and if you don't know what I am talking about, I give up on you. Powerful stuff for both boths.
Honestly I always thought Wally Gator was the gay one-

And Snagglepuss was just overly theatrical.
Then again...
If they looked more like their HB designs, I might check it out.

I'm not reading Mister Miracle but it does sting that NSMatJLC and Snagglepuss will both be ending in June. All I can do is hope for satisfying endings, but toss in that Doom Patrol is seemingly over (for now) and that's all the current DC books I've thought were truly brilliant gone.
I wasn't around during this era and it had just as much of an effect on me. The elegance and power of SP's speech and the scope of subjects it could be applied to...it was simply breathtaking.
Big time fan of Russell's PREZ. I liked the FLINTSTONES too. This has been quite interesting.
I'd love to see him take on Superman.
