To say José Luis García-López turned in a great looking piece is sort of like saying sugar is sweet. It's a given. It's kind of too bad we only get to see the top of J'Onn's head, but he's the nearest and most detailed face, so it (at least) evens out. I also appreciate that he allowed Atom to go swimming in attention grabbing negative space. Even Aquaman's exclusion makes sense, because this is a flying gig, and gender equality demands some Supergirl. That's why he gets paid the big bucks.
In late 2000, a consortium of comic publishers came up with the idea to create a financial safety net for comic creators, much in the same fashion that exists in almost any other trade from plumbing to pottery. By March of 2001, the federal government approved The Hero Initiative as a publicly supported not-for-profit corporation under section 501 (c) (3).
Since its inception, The Hero Initiative (Formerly known as A.C.T.O.R., A Commitment To Our Roots) has had the good fortune to grant over $400,000 to the comic book veterans who have paved the way for those in the industry today.
The Hero Initiative is the first-ever federally chartered not-for-profit corporation dedicated strictly to helping comic book creators in need. Hero creates a financial safety net for yesterdays' creators who may need emergency medical aid, financial support for essentials of life, and an avenue back into paying work. It's a chance for all of us to give back something to the people who have given us so much enjoyment.
