The Terrifics #22 continues to escalate and up the stakes, but more important it does so with a brilliant sense of self-awareness and emotional beats. This is a book of disparate elements coming together and combining into something greater than usual. Yang and Segovia effectively leverage the backstories of these characters to tell a compelling story that approaches the notion of hero and progress very differently than anything else on the shelves. There is a reason this is one of the few New Age of Heroes books to survive and it's because this oddball team has so much potential and we're getting to see the pay off in real time with every new issue that Yang and Segovia produce.

It's a bad time to be a hero. Especially a time where you still are not done with the villains who put them into a doom-filled world. After what The Terribles put The Terrifics through this month, I couldn't imagine that things will get any better before they get worse. Better yet, before they get crazier. Read Full Review

While this issue lags occasionally, the story that it's trying to tell is a weird and delightful oddity that deserves to be celebrated. Read Full Review

This is still a strong book with a great team of leads, but it needs better villains and maybe shorter arcs. Read Full Review

Prelude:
This arc has been a bundle of fun, so let's see how Gene Luen Yang goes with this issue.

The Good:
That "All your base are belong to use" reference! It's funny enough for me to mention.

It's just a really fun story.

We're going to have some Groundhog day next issue.

Segovia's art was great throughout too.

The Bad:
Nothing.

Conclusion:
Another fun issue for the Terrifics. It's just that sort of fun comic-booky story that DC has been missing.

Fun. That slasher splash was incredible.

What happened to this book? I enjoy the characterisation, and the comedy is very good here, but I am just not enjoying this Bizzaro story at all.
