I’m really enjoying how Waid has been transitioning this series from “How one superhero lost his way and became evil” to “all of the people fighting against the now openly evil hero are just as flawed and awful as he is, so really there are no good guys.”  It’s not a completely novel concept, but the way it’s unfolding in this series makes it an exceptionally satisfying story to read.  Is it over the top in places?  Oh, yea.  But in a fun way, not a cringeworthy one.

This issue also features my favorite cover thusfar in the series.  Really clean.  Really effective.  Really. Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally.

Story: 4 - Very Good
Art: 5 - Excellent

  1. glad to see your reviews up and running they help me make decisions every week, and glad that this book gets a good review cause I definitely want…

  2. Sorry they’re late this week.  I have a third job now, and it involves me working Tuesday nights, and while it allows me to read the books, still, I didn’t get a chance to post any reveiws.

  3. Damn, I wish I had ONE job so I could afford to buy this before Saturday!!

  4. Another great review Akamuu…I’m not a kiss-ass…it’s just your viewpoint seems to echo exactly what I’m thinking on so many of these books, unlike all the rest of the idiots on this site! (Joke, people, a joke…!)

    And I agree, the Paradigm have been wonderfully pathetic, haven’t they?  In fact, we’ll have to see whether Modeus is in fact the only person in this world worthy of any respect…other than the "just folks".

  5. @robbydzwonar: The trick is to be so poor that  people who’ve known you for years go out and find the jobs *for* you.

    @urthnoa: Thanks!  I’m guessing it ends up that nobody is worth any respect, and that excites me.

     

    Side note: the cover on this solicit was not the cover I bought.  It had Bette on the cover, and the word guilty written all over it.

  6. Yes, and that was the best cover ever out of the first 12 issues I thought by a mile (the Bette Noir)

    In fact, if I had a complaint about this book, it’s that Krauss excels at the storytelling, but his characters and overall art are barely making the grade.  Bette Noir is probably the best example, she should be smoking hot, like she is on that cover.  She’s definitely shy of that inside the book.
