    Me apparently

    I wasn't sure about the art, but I also said that Rossmo fit a dark, dirty or wacky book like Constantine and Harley and now he fits the dirty, salty Marina setting.

    Mainly the colors. I've been to this kind of place and I can smell it from the art. The blue for the sea and the yellow (by contrast) from the stand for the grease.

    It is disappointing the art is so ugly. This book is just screaming out for cute art and everybody has pointy needle noses or a chin that looks like a boot that's been run over.

    Dear sweet heaven this is FUGly. I could live with most of it if the faces didn't look like they were stung a billion times by murder hornets. I have followed Tim through everything... I dont know if I can follow this. Give me back New 52 Lobdell Tim if this is the other option.

    I feel like they may have hit a major miscast with the art here.

    Me also.

    I get why some don't like Rossmo's art style but I enjoyed his art in Tynion's run on Constantine which had an eerie vibe that I feel that this book is also going for.

    That said he did a better job with the faces in Constantine than he is doing here.

    That does look better than the art I'm seeing for Robin. The nose is really what gets me. Tim's nose doesn't remotely resemble a human nose.

    Yes...

    I could see this art if it was on a horror title or books at Image or Boom. Here it seems out of place.

    And reading the dialogue- this feels more like a book I would read from Vault Comics or Scout Comics.

    Exactly.

    Riley's art looked brilliant in his Image stuff.

    It looks a little out of place here.

    Hell his art also looks good in the Steve Orlando Martian Manhunter series as well.

    Wonder how Rossmo got attached to this series.

    Some say the real (that is, not bisexual) Tim is in hypertime now, and this Tim is just a new Tim (LOL).

    So far I like Fitzmartin's writing here already the people and place feel alive and full of personality.
    Exactly.

    It's a pinup-y variant. I find it sexy. The armpit hair is intentional.

    Well said, just like ZuLuLu.

    The art is not ugly, just doesn't feature cute yaoi/shounen ai boys. I have no problem with it. If I need cute boys, I just read Sins of the Black Flamingo. :P

    I really do enjoy indie titles more than what Marvel and DC are producing nowadays. So again, no problem for me.

    There's no Damian hate here. Apparently, according to some ppl here, it's also Fitzmartin's fault how DC is handling Damian right now.
