Art-wise, they're frankly nothing to write home about. I freely admit to being something of an Art Snob -- much of my enjoyment of comics comes from appreciating the artwork, and there's not a whole lot to get excited about here. 

I freely admit to being a Comic Book Art Snob, too.  If  I don't like the art, I'm not likely to appreciate the story.  That may be somewhat narrow-minded but for me, comics are a visual medium first.  I'm sure many great stories have been limited or ruined by uninspired art.   On the other hand, some pretty lame stories have been enhanced by great graphics.
