That's weird cause I didn't really know how to feel about that. I read it last night right before I went to bed. I didn't really enjoy "The Dark age" and stopped buying. My thinking of late had been that the whole Astro city thing had run out of gas, and KB had simply decided he preferred writing the mainstream titles. Recently I came across the old title of Astro city 1/2 (?) the one where the guy has memories of a girl he never met and becomes obsessed. In the end the Hanged man explains to him it was his wife/girlfriend from a timeline that no longer exists. This story reminded me of how good the book once was.
Personally I think KB and Astrocity is one of the main reasons for the end of the Dark age of comics in general (Gritted teeth,mercenaries,ridiculous anatomy , anti heroes) and got things back to character driven heroes. So I am very glad he will be back to a full time book.
