Great writing, from story, to characters, to lore. (1 more)
It's beautiful, and atmospheric with great music.
At time of playing (launch, before any updates) there's a few clunky things: like constantly drawing your weapon when you don't mean to. (1 more)
I had one instance where entering a room in the final mission kept completely crashing my game, and I had to parkour my way around to overcome this. Hopefully this is patched out soon!
Saved the Single Player
I loved this game. I imagine I'll be playing it for many years to come, and I'm hoping desperately for a sequel! I've been missing single player RPGs desperately lately, with studios like BioWare leaving them behind.

This game really scratched that itch for me. It's got great characters, great gameplay and a great story. It's just great. I can't recommend it enough.

Obviously it has some kinks to be worked out, but I was very easily able to overlook them when playing.
I am a little disappointed that some features were left out, like third person view and romances, but hope that these could be implemented into a sequel. Either way, I still enjoyed playing.

Great story (2 more)
Brilliantly controversial
Great spin on normal superhero novels.
Bad quality paper (2 more)
The drawing style had changed slightly
Dynamite Entertainment was plugged straight on the spine meaning it is the only volume that doesn't fit in with the rest.
Great Story, shame the quality of the book itself has gone down.
I actually really enjoyed this story and feel it takes a deeper look into the psyche of some of the main characters. It kept me gripped right until the end and left me excited to read the next volume.

What I didn't like (and this may seem a little anal), is that Dynamite Entertainment had taken over the franchise at this point and had to make this statement by not only slapping their name on the front, which is fine. But also slap bang on the spine. This means that when this particular volume is sat nicely between 3 & 6 (which don't seem to have it) it sticks out like a sore thumb.

I also didn't like the fact the paper used was much cheaper than the usual and made it feel much cheaper.
