Wellllll, when Marvel and DC do things like this, they tend to whip out the 2nd
string artists and writers, so we'll see how much the art improves. :D

Perhaps. I got really excited at first, because I thought it was going to be a
direct market limited series type thing, but apparently it's just going to be
something LEGO hands out as they see fit. A shame... some of the more beloved
toy lines from my childhood (Transformers, G.I. Joe) were backed by strong
comic book series. It made people much more involved with the characters, and
gave them a longevity beyond just being cool toys.
Hey, isn't Craigo a DC artist? I thought he did an issue or two of Starman.
Maybe he should try to get the gig for these books! :D
