I got almost 3/4 through this and had to stop. I actually thought it dragged on and on in some parts and other parts were so scattered that I found myself having to reread pages several times. I didn't find the story connected to itself very well and I didn't find it compelling enough to keep going nor to keep having to reread it to try to understand the author's intentions. The graphics were indeed awesome, but that's it. I think the hype came from the fact that it's definitely different from your normal superhero/masked hero story..but it wasn't great literature as it was made out to be.
Nope, sorry all you die hard fans...this was a big disappointment for me. Thank God it was a library loaner.
