Don't Confuse The New Lieutenants of Metal With The Bronze Age Lieutenants of Metal... or Something

By Dustin Cabeal

I will read this because Ulises Farinas is a unique voice in comics. That said, sometimes that unique voice can leave all his work feeling the same. Point in case, when I read the preview (see below) I got the same vibe I did with his last two or three comics. That doesn't mean it's a bad read or that it won't be enjoyable. With any creator, you want to see them continue to expand and create while maintaining their voice and not get stuck in the same type of story over and over. Is that the case here? Find out in July... supposedly on the 4th.
