Story by James Robinson
Art by Nicola Scott & Trevor Scott
Cover by Ivan Reis & Joe Prado

Size: 40 pages
Price: 3.99

This is an absolute Fuck Yeah comic. Robinson’s written a first issue that makes me wish The New 52 had been entirely based on this Earth. Giant threat? Check. Big Three Superpeople in peril? Check. Relatives of Super Three established? Check. Consequences to non-supers? Check. Nikola Scott making really busy panels that make you want to, as opposed to need to, reread every page? Check.

It’s a little narration box heavy at the beginning, but Robinson makes it payoff by the end. I’d be surprised if this didn’t end up as my PoTW.

Story: 5 - Excellent

    Dang, this must be good for you to like it this much. I thing Robinson has been doing a great job on the Shade – but his JLA was pretty bland so I was a little worried about this. But I knew Nicola Scott (thankfully away from JT Krul) would be a huge step up from Mark Bagley.
