With no offense meant to Richard Starkings, I read this book for the art. The story is always interesting, but the ride between issues is often choppy. Even in trade form, the story feels like a subway ride. Yes you go from stop to stop, but sometimes it lurches unexpectedly, and you’re occasionally stuck in a tunnel waiting for another train to do…something; something you never even get to see or hear about. Basically, the writing has been a consistent three for most of the series, with a few issues rising to 4.
The art is almost always a five, never below four. And this issue is no exception. Twenty-five pages with twenty-five different artists doing pinups, with the story tacked on over it. Again, not a bad story, but it’s had to be formulated to explain the constantly shifting art. And the story succeeds in that goal, but does not surpass it.
Art: 5 - Excellent
