New Year's Evil #1
In "The Amateur," a 2020 DC comic written by Kenny Porter and illustrated by Ramon Villalobos, the Toyman turns his obsession with control into a dangerous new campaign, weaponizing hyper-realistic action figures to draw in a distracted generation—only to unleash chaos on Superman. With bold visuals by Villalobos and vibrant colors by Tamra Bonvillain, this issue captures a tense clash between nostalgia and modern disconnect, all under Jim Cheung’s striking cover.
