The "Cat Food" link took me to a toy/ oops action figure page. I must be missing something here. The “Cat Food” link took me to a toy/ oops action figure page.

I'm not so sure about this --ironically it looks comic booky which is not a good thing. This looks pretty camp. I’m not so sure about this –ironically it looks comic booky which is not a good thing.

The all-black costume just doesn't work for me. It looks more like "Frank Miller's The Spirit" than "Will Eisner's The Spirit." I know I'll always have my comics to read, but I'm afraid that this may end up as Sin City-light. And Sin City was only interesting through the first 2 stories. If we end up with ever-so-arch dialogue like Sin City, which rolled over into camp, then I'm just not gonna be interested. I'll be curious to see the preview panel this weekend.
