I'm honestly not too well-versed in western comics(which will probably come across in my character for sure) but honestly, um...

I've heard MANY comics fans complain about the direction they've gone in. This overly dark, miserable, death filled stuff. The movies are pretty dark too, though not always that bad(and I know they were dark but I still like the first two Dark Knight movies). But the comics have gone in this... revoltingly dark direction judging by what I've heard.

This seems like it's going for, well, serious plots, but a lot more over the top fun stuff. From what I understand, at least.

I'm not really interested in the extreme whimsy and nonsense of the full-blown silver age stuff either(well aside from reading about it) but this seems like it would be a happy medium that lets me get one of the tones I like for stuff.
