Not Brian Wood, you’re probably thinking Ashley Wood when talking about art aesthetic.
I picked up the Nightly News a few years ago, and thought it was a tin-foil hat wearing pile of shit. Really turned me off Hickman for a while. SHIELD did a little to help get me interested again, but even in there its got all that conspiracy non-sense tied up in it. Red Mass for Mars though, is sort of cool. A brutal superhero thing, though I think it got rushed toward the end, it could have used another issue. But its definitely not conspiracy non-sense like most of his other stuff.
Paxromana was more conspiracy pap. If you didn’t like Nightly News, avoid it.
I think Nightly News gets a lot of buzz because it appeals to the hipster conspiracy nutter crowd. Also for all its problems its really different from most stuff out there. Interesting use of art and text in some places.
