1. Cover - beautiful, dark, moody and lovely muted colours
2. Interior artwork - nothing flashy, almost workmanlike but still the intense tone of the story is conveyed well between inks and colours
3. Villains - the villain of the piece is not dressed in tights or some sort of super villain but yet his story is compelling enough to grow as a subplot until reaching here over several months - and yet at the end, we feel for the villain!
4. Story - while all heroes must have great villains, after the slightly more upbeat tone (pursuant to 200), we see this arc with Micay Synn taking DD down a darker type of story telling and it's not going to let up at all until well after issue 300 ... yes that far down even though there are changes in writers
5. What's it about? Well basically there is supposed to be a tarzan like chap ... a whole clan of white bloke who still lived wild and finally found by modern day civilization ... so while he may be rich but his morals are different and being from the jungle the way he handles things are nothing short of ruthless. And like all primitives, the so-called civilized world has many temptations that in the end made a king a slave to its addictions
