I couldn't see a thread for this and I really wanted to quickly say how great this book has been, only 3 more issues left I think but this has been simply wonderful - a story with lots of grey areas, twists and turns and bundles of empathy so much so that still now I struggle to decide other than Kyle Raynor who is genuinely 'good' in this book. Tom King signed an exclusive deal with DC and they have captured someone special in my opinion he is writing at the top of his game right now and the art by Barnaby Bagenda is only matched by the exceptional colours of Romula Fajardo Jr. - I never used to pay enough attention to the talent on books but now when the quality is this good I take notice, big time!
Anyone else reading this?

I'm also reading this and it is just absolutely fantastic, it is one of the best books on the stands today. It really has a lot of sub-text to it which highlights a lot of what is going on in today's world.
It is great that King has been signed to an exclusive deal with DC, he has been consistently one of the best writers of the last 2 years with books such as Grayson, Vision, Omega Men and The Sheriff of Babylon.

Yes for me Mr King is already my stand out writer of 2016 and probably produced my favorite books of 2015.
Your comment about the sub-text is spot on, he writes characters with buckets of self belief in their causes that when you align them to real life current terrorist / government situations the parallels become obvious and I think it makes you question assumptions - comics at its best!
