Looks good. Despite rapidly turning into an old grump, I actually went out and bought the first issue because of Major Spoilers, and I was very well entertained
I love the affect of the rectangular frame that’s laid over TM when he fights, showing us where he learned the skill. Very clever and I’m surprised we’ve never seen it before.
