Well, that's certainly something that everyone can agree with. “Take it or leave it, love it or hate it, it is what it is.”

I talked to the creators for a while at NYCC and they seemed like genuinely nice people, and the art was fantastic. And while I've yet to finish the full book, I've read about half and enjoyed it for what it is. Basically, The Unit if they were celebrities. Take it or leave it, love it or hate it, it is what it is. And it is very nice to see proceed go to charity indeed.

It's still a horrible book. And while I'm at it, "We Are the World" sucks too. Trust me when I say I am incapable of ever taking myself seriously.

The preview comic was absolutely miserable ego-stroking, so I didn't expect much more from the final product. Haha, these guys were by far one of the dumbest things I saw at NYCC.
