The back-up story is more of what I was expecting with the main story. Schmidt is also joined by Bryan Hitch, Alex Sinclair, and Leigh in an origin story for Ultraman. The art is a bit to bright and light to fit well with these characters. It matches the comedic aspects of the comic but the style doesn’t quite match that “evil” and “dark” aspect of the team I was expecting. With ink by Dexter Vines, color by Steve Oliff, and lettering by Rob Leigh there’s a bit of a classic feel to the art. The art by Kieran McKeown is ok but doesn’t quite fit the tone of the characters. It doesn’t pack the punch when it the Crime Syndicate was revealed years ago as to the evil that lurked in the DC Universe and sparked “Trinity War”. There’s both history and newness to it all. It delivers a wink a nod to the history all of these characters have.īut, what’s odd is that this feels a bit of an echo to the Justice League relaunch with the New 52 bringing the team together. Schmidt has some fun with that “pulp” aspect though referencing comics that don’t exist and haven’t happened.

There’s a pulp vibe to it in some ways with a dose of humor thrown in which feels a bit off. But, the tone of the comic still feels a bit “light’ for such evil individuals. This isn’t a team or “heroes” to be rooting for, Schmidt nails that aspect down. All of the members are horrible individuals in their own special way. It has them plant their flags in their own ways. Written by Andy Schmidt, the comic re-introduces us to the various members. Some of it works and some of it doesn’t with an issue that’s a bit choppy in quality. The issue is an interesting one presenting the group it would seem before they’ve come together and instead giving us a tease of each.

When asked if the district knew whether Todd had been bullied, she said “school and community supports were in place” and that officials were informed of the girl’s death this morning.

She said once the coroner’s report is written, the case will go to a child-death review, which is a second layer of review and is mandated by provincial legislation. I know people always want instant answers, but … this is a case very much where we want to be really thorough and make sure we get the right answers McLintock said a field coroner was on the scene and had consulted with a child death coroner, and while foul play was ruled out by Thursday morning, the service isn’t releasing information on how Todd died.
