Some fans pick up books solely for the characters or creators they love, or a story they find promising, while others follow artists and art styles with the same enjoyment. The most recent

Writer Simon Spurrier’s take on the character is just as caustic and fundamentally cracked as he needs to be, but the book would have been very different without artists Aaron Campbell’s and Matias Bergara’s work.
