“Ink is about this great character, Mark Richards, who is a villain that desperately wants to be a hero. He won’t admit it to anyone, but his wife knows this and sees the great man he can be. In Final Crisis #6, as a result of helping save the Earth, Mark becomes an honorary member of the JLA. Ink picks up pretty soon at this. The Final Crisis is over, and he’s been kicking ass as a superhero and loving it. But at the heart of Ink is this fact: it’s really hard to be a hero. Superman might make it look easy, but it’s not. It’s hard to do the right thing all the time, especially when the entire world is watching every move you make. Why? Because let’s face it, in the DC Universe, superheroes are rock stars. They’re celebrities. Which means they’re held to a different standard than normal people. Mark is about to find this out, and as he struggles to be good… his dark side comes out in a very unexpected, but hopefully exciting way.”
