Anyways, not being able to reason with the Weird personally, Adam and Comet have to go through these personalities. Basically the Weird is currently destroying this part of the universe.

Not only did he write an engaging story, but . . he has some pages in this book in which his art is fantastic. I mean . . all the pages are good. But there's a few that just jump right off the page at you. He really did a great job here. I can't wait to see what happens next issue. And then . . what his plans are beyond that.
