Everyone for some reason rights it off as just another hokey cheesecake book but it is very much to the contrary. Yes, in the book's early days, there was quit a bit of fan service going on but now I would say there is about as much as you would see in any book with a sexy female lead. That is mostly to do with Ron Marz's truly visionary take on this title. The stories are well written, fresh, and believable (well as believable as comics about a world where there's a magical gauntlet that balances the opposing forces of the universe can be anyway lol) and it just keeps getting more and more intricate with the web Ron weaves for the characters. Speaking of, the characters are deep and flawed yet all are redeemable and likable at the same time. Action is always with a purpose to the storyline. And the action is always breathtaking to behold, mostly because of the main artist aboard the project named Stjepan Sejic, He is a Croatian artist that paints every detail like a beautiful tapestry for each page bringing the characters to almost photo-realistic life! The drama is edge of your seat too, and will always leave you wanting more. So if you haven't given it a try I highly recommend it. And at only $2.99 a book what is there to lose?

What a real success story they've become! $2.99 all year? Hello? Not to mention the comics they give away for free every month! Oh by the way, Ron Marz has been there for nearly 4 years, so he wasn't exactly new, even last year. I think the blatant stupidity of some people chalking this up to simply a TnA book is only slightly more absurd than the number of people who keep on buying books from the big 2 they don't like just so they can complain about it later.
