Mister Terrific #1

Origin stories are hard to find in the DCnU. But we finally get a one with Mister Terrific. But only for his alter-ego, not his heroic side. So we're still left wondering how Mr. Terrific got his powers. Sure, we can assume, and we'd probably assume right, but if you're going to go to the trouble of giving half an origin, why not go all the way? Doesn't make sense to me. And this book does the same thing that Batwing did; start out in the present, then jump to flashbacks. And like Batwing, I couldn't tell where the book ended when we came back to the present. If you're not going to sync the flashback to the present, then don't present it like it's a flowing story. The art is a weak spot, too. Not horrible mind you, just not very smooth. Humans don't really have that many jutting parts. Not the worst, but definitely room for improvement.
After saying all that though, I will be sticking with the title for a bit for a certain reason. And her name is Karen Starr. If you know me, you should know who that is. And if you don't, all I'll say is....PG.
