Don't ask me why, but these covers, the ones I get from www.dccomics.com, never seem to really match up with what they actually are. For this series at least. Don't know. Can't explain it. But, other than that, I have no other criticisms of this series. Some people think Brian Bendis walks on water, me, I think Brian Azzarello is the "shiznit". I mean, we're on issue #78, and Brian has been crafting this story since issue #1. It's all connected. Sure, there's some issues in the middle that you wouldn't really have to read, to get the picture of what's going on, but every issue adds another piece to the puzzle. So without them, you'll still see the overall picture, but, not the whole picture. Right now, we're at the point where there's a war beginning to brew between the Trust and the Minutemen. Both sides have started their opening salvos. It's a classic story. Management thinks the workers have gotten to independent. They've started to follow their own agendas, instead of the ones that have been chosen for them. The workers think that management has gotten old and unable to carry it's own weight. They feel that they bring a young, fresh, perspective to things. And that by discounting them, management doesn't respect them, or thinks of them as mindless pawns. They're both right. But, what they don't realize is that both sides are necessary. That by diminishing either side, you're beginning to deconstruct the whole. So the interesting part of the story now, is what lengths both sides are going to go to, and what's going to be left when the dust settles. And Brian is showing us every piece of the puzzle along the way. This series is awesome. It's been one of my favorites since it's inception. By the way, the cover of this book, the real one, is incredible. I recommend this series to everyone!!
