    You realize you're Naked right? 1

    I will freely admit that I only know two things about The Ray, Diddly and Squat. I picked this comic up after seeing a preview for it in Aquaman. Let me tell you, this book is awesome. We start with the Ray, Lucien Gates, narrating his origin story while simultaneously fighting some random jellyfish monsters.

    The Good: I may not be too fond of the cover itself, but the logo is FREAKING AMAZING. This is another new DC title that is damn well close to being a Milestone comic. It stars an ethnic hero who isn't defined by his race, in a series that places equal importance on his personal life and superhero life.
