The creators on this book thought it would be a good idea to take hobo Ric and have him run around with filth on his face. Cause what’s cooler then a filthy hobo with rope. Honestly everyone involved on this direction have been terrible. From the writers bad regurgitated ideas, to the artists lame tone deaf designs.
Mooneyham was never a good fit on this book. Even for Percy’s run, which was about modern technology, his gritty style didn’t capture the tones or themes at all. It made Bludhaven and the Dark Web look dated and ugly. The annual made it especially apparent. Even now though. They have girls comment how pretty Ric is, except the art has him looking like a ghoul most the time. It’s so off the mark.
