Afraid that A.R.G.U.S. has been lying to him, Vibe goes on the run! But he doesn't get very far before a new villain with ties to his past threatens to turn his future upside down!
So what can I say. After the disappointing Supergirl and Legion, I get another very solid Vibe issue, a book filled with action, some crazy action, and enough pathos to choke on. And throughout it, we have a kid just trying to be a hero because it is the right thing to do, no matter what sort of a morass he is wading in. Just solid stuff. I have seen more and more big name sites praising the book. I have seen tweets talking it up. I have beat the drum. I fear that this is an overlooked gem on the comic racks. I hope that DC doesn't pull the plug prematurely. They need this book. I need this book. Read Full Review
So, while on the story front, everything is nice and steady it is the art that once again find the right median between silly and serious and portrays that tone page by page. Pete Woods was a good fit for the first couple of issues, but he has received a worthy successor in Andres Guinaldo, whose work is fun to look at and also very tightly constructed. Theres nothing truly revolutionary going on, but it is a good display of the fundamentals, and that is its own achievement. JLAs Vibe will be put on hold throughout September due to the onset of Villains Month, which only serves to make the next installment more tantalizing. Read Full Review
It's a wonder DC didn't try to cram a Trinity War tie-in into this series. But it's good they didn't, as Gates is allowed the continued opportunity to grow and test a character I never expected to like as much as I do. Read Full Review
With the breakout, Gates has done a nice job setting this book up for a bright future, I just hope he's able to follow up as I'd like to see where we go now that Scissormen, Phantasm, Weaponers of Qward and Darkseid's daughter are all on the loose. Grounding those oddities in a real-world setting like the Motor City isn't an easy task, but Gates does include a nice nod to the Detroit area by sending Vibe's injured brother, Dante, to Henry Ford Hospital. Hopefully Dante gets the attention he needs and this comic starts to find the attention it needs as the story slides over from straight-ahead superhero action to a wonderfully awkward mixture of science fiction, fantasy and adventure.
