My pleasure, I'm glad you enjoyed it. To me, this is what comics today should be like. Very fun, funny at times, and plenty of actual emotion between the characters. Everyone in that book had their own voice, they felt real and there was some real sincerity to what was happening. It used continuity well, it respected what came before and built off of it rather than tearing things down. I'd say my only problem is the art, which isn't bad per-say, but it wouldn't be my first choice.

Still, this is more of what I want comics to be like. This book respected the past and built off of it to tell some fun stories, and treated the characters like actual characters. And no politics or agenda beyond "family is important" and "tell a good story".
