Haven't read it in full yet, but had two immediate thoughts as I left the store -- the $2.25 price point was really nice (I could handle seeing more comics printed on the non-glossy paper if it meant that kind of reduction in more titles), and it was kind of interesting my local comic shop had copies in both the regular row of titles and in the kid's section (I grabbed a copy from the kid's section because I spotted Family Dynamic there first -- not sure if the dual placement was a mistake or if they meant to have them in both though). I'm very impressed with the look of the book. I'm with Mauro -- It'd be a shame if it gets overlooked because it's part of the "all ages" line. Have a good day. John Cage I got a copy today.

I was scared it was sold out because they removed it wasn't in the new release stacks, but much to my embarrassment they moved it to the kids section. BUT I can't wait to read it. I've only been hearing great things about it. Johnny DC has really been kicking ass. I just wish "All Ages" didn't carry such a negative connotation. I picked up Family Dynamic this morning.

Perhaps it's not an earth-shattering concept, but it's quite enjoyable. And Levins artwork looks great. It's a good comic, very nicely done.

It's a lot like Astro City in that regards - a good comic that feels like an old school Marvel/DC comic (more like Marvel than DC).

This is not to say that I didn't think it was a good comic. But a bunch of the concept felt very familiar to me....I just can't place from where.

We had to go several rounds with DC's legal department to clear all the names, and the water elemental's name was the biggest challenge. I think we got rejected a half dozen times on that one until we eventually settled on Troylus (Troy meaning "water" or "soldier," and Troylus meaning "from Troy)... Troylus was not our first choice.
