I am not the person who reads superhero comics a lot, I often feel like there's too much squished on the page. However I saw this at my library and thought I would give it a try and I am REALLY glad I did. There's a lot traditional hero stories don't touch on for example the internet makes jokes and memes about how Batman is no better than a cop. He doesn't care what law your breaking he uses full force and helps the cops lock people up when he could have used his AMPLE resources to the betterment of the community.
I deeply appreciated how there was attention given to the fact that the people committing crimes were pushed to their limit, were not bad people and did not need to be in jail. This is an important conversation I don't see other hero stories delve into. And the diversity is PEAK.
