Having never read THB, I don’t know how appropriate an introduction this issue is for it. But it’s a wonderful book, where Pope shows off his artistic skills, as well as his storytelling abilities–but also his philosophic read on the comic book medium. It shows just how much time he’s been wasting at DC.
