Edginton is a terrific writer but he hasn't got John and Emma's voices right, or at least not yet. I say this knowing full well how difficult it is for a writer to convey a television or film character on the comics page. The writer hears the actor's voice in his or her head, and wants to phrase things the way it sounds like they talk...but tv and film characters are much less verbose than we think they are, and so much of the character is really being conveyed by tone and inflection and all the other nuances of the actor's performance. Comics writers tend to overcompensate and wind up with characters being way talkier than the comics page can support. It's extremely difficult and I can only wish Edginton well as the series proceeds. <br /><br />For my money, the only comics version of Steed and Peel that got everything right was the one by Grant Morrison. You could tell he prioritized making it work as a comic book first, and he understood how exaggerated the "Britishness" needed to be.

The dialog seems to capture the characters well, and I'm definitely hooked to find out what happens in the next installment. Recommended! The free Batman 75th issue is pretty cool. Sadly, it only contains a sample of Chip Kidd's redesign of the first story- the full piece is in the new 75 Year hardcover compilation. But the free issue today did include the first story as originally printed, and a new re-imagining of the story in a modern context. There was a huge turnout at one of the shops I visited. happy Batman Day and congrats to Boom! on their new Avengers series.
