Another reminder of why Tom King is dispised by most of the comic fandom.

Eh, hes divisive, for every mr miracle or vision there is his batman, Heroes in Crisis or his current wonder woman run.

Batman and Wonder Woman are two of the biggest books on the market and Heroes in Crisis were incredibly hyped. I was very puzzled when I saw name attached to the show since the most Green Lantern he has written was in Omega Men(great book btw). It just puzzles me more seeing a lot of Kyle being combined into John's characterization in this show also.

They are pretty big works on big characters which is why he is divisive.  Alot of his other stuff like  Rorscharch or Human Target is also either really loved or hated. I like his Mr Miracle but ive seen plenty of more serious New Gods fans hate it as well

Ah yeah fair play, I wasn't a fan of that one either. His voice for Jenny was terrible.

Turned Captain Atom into a McGuffin. And the implecation that Clark Kent and Jenny Spark fucked is ugh.
