The focusing on lesser known characters is another thing that breaks the mold for me with this. It's not that I have anything against the concept it's just that it's not something that immediately convinces me it's worth a shot whereas I know for some people it's a real conceptual draw. So you know, again, this plays against type for me.
Of the lineup I was also only originally familiar with Bane but I totally agree about the way his dual skills are interesting. Because he looks so physical, it's nice that his real skill is strategy and he uses the venom very tactically. There are several really nice plot points that revolve around that difference throughout the comic - it's definitely worth picking up the trades if you can find them and if you liked the more recent issues.
