Not really a “comic” comic, it’s an Original Graphic Novel or OGN.

FTA:

“just recently, DC announced it was serializing the original 2020 Primer OGN in classic comic book issues beginning in March 2024, with the release scheduled to finish off just in time for the sequel, Primer: Clashing Colors, in summer 2024.”

    Isn’t marvel and DC comics basically for kids anyways? They never actually hurt the criminals in the way they a person with super powers would…

    See invincible for adult comic style if your curious.

        Not really but it was getting close. Someone with blades embedded in their knuckles wouldn’t really go easy on bad guys like he does. Limbs would be missing

      You must not have looked at DC much recently, they have pivoted into a lot of grimdark storyline with Hamlet like death counts and gruesome styling. I’m not a fan, I have DC Universe Infinate mainly to access the Vertigo back catalog much of which does the ideas they are trying better without coming off as pandering to the edgelords.

      Hopefully the success of Primer will lighten things up around there.

      Well, there are degrees of “for kids”. :)

      Primer is maybe overly simplistic in writing and vocabulary, but it’s fine for the audience.

      Marvel and DC both have books that can skew younger or older depending on the book.
