I know it's been awhile since I've read the rest of the series, but I need more backstory in a first chapter. Maybe it's just me. I think I read the other stories one after the other.
I barely remembered these two characters (I didn't remember their names, but I did remember the hummingbird), so it wasn't until they started discussing Oberton that enough of the backstory came to me to make everything fall into place. I reread it and that helped.
Again, it may be that my brain is Swiss cheese.
In general I love the conflict between the two men--in their work, play, and magic lives--and that they're off to solve crime (I'm guessing of the magical variety).
No, if you noted the need for more background, the editors probably will as well. I just don't want to overwhelm since these two are separated from the DC storyline and the magical universe will be less a "thing" for them.
Zach is not going to get the upgrades Darren did, largely because Bennu is unique among his people. He wouldn't have been the first to come back otherwise. And Hummer is attracted to Zach in part because he is very down to earth and grounded, much more so than Darren. But then again, Zach wouldn't like Kavon, so that's probably a good thing.
