I think Tom King is good when he's tightly leashed and collared, but he has a very limited ability to tell stories and likes to indulge himself in overcomplex bullshit.
yet another tom king story about an easily misunderstood protagonist who stands outside of the norm, direct real-world event references, and a C-lister being a violent, murdering psychopath, possibly for reasons entirely out of their control (they feel bad about something).
