Katyusha was a misfit to the end.  When she activated as an Uber, she escaped and wandered the countryside hoping to make it all the way to the Ukraine.  But Russia sacrificed everything to make its own tank-men and the Soviet Union would not let someone so powerful walk away.  Now Katyusha has found a new home...but the horrors of war are never far behind.  This arc of unthinkable atrocities is illustrated by GABRIEL (Ferals) ANDRADE.  Available with Regular, War Crimes, and Wraparound covers by Gabriel Andrade, Propa more

    This is one of the best issues in the series that although it feels out of sorts, gives readers a peak into Katyushas psyche. The story by Kieron Gillen is intense, riveting, and action packed. The art by Gabriel Andrade is world class and elegant. Overall, this issue serves as a masterclass in character exploration. Read Full Review

    All-Comic - Spence Wallace May 14, 2014

    The story of#13 is what you'll find intriguing, Kieron takes a break from Hitler, Stalin, Churchill and the Japanese and puts us in the shoes of some unassuming Siberian farmers. We don't know much about them and maybe it's better that way. We find out a little about their plight, they've contributed to the war effort in the only way they could but most importantly they're hungry. It really shows what earlier issues ofUber may have not touched upon, but may have been implied. Does touching the red alien crystals change both the subject mentally and physically? If you were thinking that then be prepared to have that question answered. Being one of the top issues in the series so far, this is an exceptional release as it deviates from the main plot and reminds you that behind every war there are victims. Gillen really makes you care about, not just the people who are involved in the war, but the people behind the war, the little people. Absolutely worth the pick up. Read Full Review

    Geeked Out Nation - Zack Roberts May 15, 2014

    The issue pledged to reveal a lot about Maria and it delivers fully on that promise. She is seen as a strong and good hearted person who will use her vast power to protect the weak. It reveals vital elements of her history and teases what is to come from her next, and I cant wait. This issue is the 3rd in as many weeks, and despite some criticisms of issue 12 the standard of storytelling seems to be keeping to its self-set high standards. Read Full Review
