    What I do know though is that it's a fascinating dichotomy to explore in a comic book about superheroes, and taken hand in hand with a good dollop of humour it makes for a fascinating, enjoyable, intelligent and engrossing read, asking a few questions about some big issues, and in such a subtle way that if you are not paying attention you won't even realise it's happening.

    Following The Nerd - Jake Tanner Feb 8, 2014

    This is a series that deserves to be mentioned with the rest of the top series in comics but rarely ever gets its shine. In each and every issue there continues to be something for all fans of comics. There's great action, raw human emotion, and a great sense of humor in almost every page of the book; usually you only get one of those things out of a series. That's how special The Movement really is. Read Full Review

    Shadowhawk's Shade - Abhinav Jain Feb 8, 2014

    The issue ends with a really interesting cliffhanger that ramps up the seriousness of the story-arc and marks an interesting possible change in Batgirl's status quo, and even for The Movement itself. Given what they are about to do to Batgirl, I'm expecting a big story in the next issue. Read Full Review

    The movement has had their first encounter with a superhero, and of course we could all guess how this interaction could go south. Batgirl comes to Coral City in pursuit of a superhuman who is trying to join the Movement, something which created an interesting situation because both sides have different views on what it means to be a hero. This conflict of interest of course bringing out something different in each of them as they want to prove to the other who is right about how they go about their business. This was an entertaining issue for that and the action was on point as well Read Full Review

    This is the Movement's first run in with an actual superhero, and, for all the almost required posturing, it spins out in a realistic and well done fashion. Read Full Review
