Docked a star only because Hickman's story arcs always pay off way down the line, leaving the early issues a little muddled and confusing. Totally going to come back and read this first arc when the end game is finally revealed.

[Insert obligatory I LOVE YOU HICKMAN here]

Holy shit, Jason Aaron is killing it.

Meeeeh. Kevin Smith was not up to his best writing, the art was blah, and the villain over a couple of issues was totally boring.

Disappointing, but hopefully the series gets better from here after the team change. Or maybe I should just find the arcs that have been recommended and read those alone.

Also, what is with the inconsistent white washing of Connor Hawke? I had to look up his ethnicity to make sure I wasn't seeing things when he was actually colored in the second volume of this series. Yay for mixed heritage heroes, boo for artists and colorists who don't care.
