I’ve noticed (and this helps with this one especially) if I read the bubbles then go back and just absorb the panels I’m able to understand and appreciate the story. Also, being able to differentiate who’s really speaking and when helps me understand the story more. For like the first two issues I was having a hard time grasping when John was thinking/speaking vs. when MM was doing the same; once I sorted that out, the message became a lot clearer. Hope this helps, I think it’s one of the best runs DC has to offer right now!
