Don’t worry – it’s not really blank! (Well, kind of…) Before the world’s worst superheroes explode back into stores in December, get a “look” at the superpower mayhem that rising star Daniel Kibblesmith (The Late Show with Stephen Colbert) and eye-popping artist Kano (Daredevil) are cooking up right here – plus a special surprise guest appearance by Eisner Award-nominated artist Joe Eisma (Archie)!

I need to admit here that this comic book had a potential to bring a fresh and quirky twist to the beloved dysfunctional superhero duo. But unfortunately this comic book didnt use the potential it had.

This comic book starts very good and gives us a lot of expectations for it, but the deeper we get into this comic book the more the expectations begin to go out in the flames which really disappointed me a lot personally.

The writing of this comic book has a playful tone which paints this comic book is a good and fun way which made me give this comic book some extra points for doing.

The storyline of this comic book in a way lacks the sharp wit and engaging chemistry which would make this comic book actually good beyond only having a potential to have a good story.

The pacing in this comic book is pretty uneven, because some scenes in this comic book are dragging unnecessarily while others race by without enough development.

The artwork in this comic book is pretty vibrant and energetic. Which was the best aspect of this comic book in my opinion.

The artwork in this comic book, is capturing the chaotic spirit of the characters very well and which is the reason why I say that the artwork was the best aspect of this comic book. 

But there are times where the artwork struggles with clarity in action sequences, making it harder to follow the flow of the story.

This comic book, tries to be humanistic and funny at times. But the humor in this comic book feels very forced which makes the humor miss the mark of being funny and overall makes the humor very cringy.

The concept of this preview is for the most part creative and it is blending humor with a touch of the supernatural. But there are parts of this preview where I think that this preview could have been better than it was.

His interactions and reactions to the unfolding events are entertaining, though the preview left me feeling that he didn’t have a lot of personality or something which would make him unique because of the fact of how much this preview was holding out on us.

When it comes to the side characters in this book, I need to admit that the side characters add charm to the plot and setting of this preview. But they have the same problem as the main character has when it comes to their personalities and something which would make them stand out on their own in this preview.

The artwork in this preview is pretty vibrant and playful, and it is effectively capturing the whimsical tone of the story

At the same time the illustrations in this preview enhance the narrative, bringing the quirky elements to life and adding visual appeal.

This preview tries to give us the themes of curiosity, adventure, and the unexpected. Which feel very lacking and not fully explored and thought out in this preview.
