J. Michael Straczynski - creator of Babylon 5, co-creator of Sense8, and writer of beloved runs on The Amazing Spider-
Man, Thor, and Superman: Earth One - returns to comics, teaming with Mike Deodato Jr. - the blockbuster artist of The
Amazing Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, and Infinity Wars. Together they plant the flag for a new universe of heroes
and villains for the 21st Century. As the world adjusts to the appearance of these superpowered "reborns," figures high in
the government learn the source of the disease and the dangers it may still pose.
We’re only just beginning to scratch the surface of this rich new universe that Straczynski has crafted but it’s one of the more unique and exciting worlds out there. Filled with dozens of mysteries to be solved, incredibly human characters and raw stories, infinite possibilities. The quality of the writing and art is second to none. Do yourself a favour and get in on this incredible story now, at the start. You won’t regret it. Read Full Review
-This issue had a lot of what makes this series good. The world feels big again, alive with paranoia and purpose. The resistance is forming an identity and the world leaders are analyzing what is potentially happening in regards to the virus. My main negative takeaway is the meteor origin feels a little cliche and maybe issue 2 or 3 should have has this inserted in somewhere it can work.
The comedian and the man on death row used as a guinea pig are actually more interesting and memorable that the people that are becoming the main characters. What this comic lacks most of all is focus. Concentrating on this weird hive-minded resistance-cult seems to be the way forward, but we probably should have spent more time making them interesting.
