To be honest I thought it looked kind of goofy. There are a lot of Campbell rip offs. When I saw the Previews ad saying he had returned, my thought was "he was gone?"
All the charactors are resembling eachother too much. I just can't get into it.

Actually, it looks like there's going to be a wide variety of characters and body types in Wildsiderz. This is what the team looks like: The main guy is kinda wiry, another guy is chunky, and sure, all the girls have the same "hot body" but their faces have very different features. But the main reason I like Campbell & Hartnell is because they don't take anything they do too seriously.

Just finished reading the latest Planetary. Good, but maddeningly short on overall story arc detail.

Titles I read on a regular basis are Astonishing X-Men (I love what Whedon and Cassaday are doing on the book, though lateness is making me think twice about buying it), Supreme Power (excellent characterization outside of what you'd expect from JLA ripoffs or even how they were previously done), Manhunter (from DC, again with strong characterization, though I hate the covers that don't present what's actually in that particular issue), and various single storylines or mini's like the current Hellblazer storyline (I also really like the moodiness of Leonardo Manco's pencils; he does horror so well, like Rudy Nebres used to in the old House of Mystery/House of Secrets titles of the 70's for DC).
I don't have the large budget that I used to for comic buying (thankfully), so I'm very selective about my purchases. What will attract me most times is the art and how I can use it as examples in my teaching. Needless to say, I've bought a couple of Strangers In Paradise trades because Terry Moore really knows how to pull the reader in with the art. It's almost cinematic.
