It was okay. But a lot of the villains were talked about for a very short time and did not go into great detail about them. Only interesting thing they talked about was 1, a big question they talk about is which came first, villain or hero. Sometimes villains appear and heroes come to stop them. Or vice versa and 2 a character trait that artist/writer keep in mind is that it always seems like heroes are sad and stressed from their work and the villains always seem to be having fun.
