Isn't it great when something lives up to the hype?
Rick Remender seems to be the master of taking smaller characters and showing everyone that they can be just as good, if not better than the "big" heroes. Even more so in this case, given that Venom and his unwanted company are all new iterations of old characters. And all of them fit into this mini-event perfectly, not a one feels out of place or obnoxious. It's a marvel how well Remender pulls it off.
I'll be honest, I haven't been in love with Lan Medina's art. A bit too clean for the story that's been unfolding.But he's didn't draw this. Instead, we got Tony Moore and it is just stunning. He gets to take a crack at new heroes, and they're some of the best I've seen. It's so nice to see him drawing Johnny Blaze again, for starters. X-23 is appropriately vicious, and his Red Hulk has a hilariously exaggerated anatomy. I know it takes Moore quite a while to finish his work, but when the work's this good, I don't see how anyone can complain.
So the Circle of Four event is off to a fantastic start. I feel really sorry for the people who decide not to pick up this book due to it's silly numbering system. It's a self-contained event starring Venom, a Hulk, a Ghost Rider and a Wolverine fighting off a small Hell in Las Vegas. Written by Rick Remender and drawn my Tony Moore. Are you really gonna let decimal points stop you from buying it?
Story: 4 - Very Good
Art: 5 - Excellent
Art: 5 - Excellent
Well, only this issue and one other are actually done by Remender & Moore. There are three issues between those that are not written by Remender or drawn by Moore and then one more after that is written by Remender but that’s not drawn by Moore until we get to the wrap up which is done by both. So there’s four issues that won’t be as good as this one costing $12 before we get to what’s sure to be a great finale. One of those in-betweeners is drawn by “bLANd” Medina.
I basically agree with your review, just wanted to say it won’t be decimal points that will be slowing me down getting the in-between ‘point’ issues, it’ll be the inconsistent creative teams.
