By issues end, the story though moved to the Pacific, just became even more thrilling. The story by Kieron Gillen is layered, dramatic and intelligent. The art by Canaan White is both horrifying and exciting. Altogether, this issue expands the canon and pushes the pedal to the floor on the action. Read Full Review

Uber keeps telling its own story. I like how the focus is on the impact of a new weapons system rather than on “great power” and “great responsibility”. We've had plenty of THAT, so it's nice to just have a clinical evaluation of how great power can change warfare. Read Full Review

It's unfortunate that Avatar doesn't intend to issue the first trade paperback collection of Uber till next year (there's an expensive, limited-edition deluxe hardcover on the way first). While issue #6 is a theoretically decent jumping-on point, since we've moved on to a different setting and group of characters, it really needs the context of the first story arc to be truly effective (or even intelligible in some ways). Indeed, this is probably the weakest issue of the series so far, but that's largely due to it having less buildup, and fewer new discoveries for the reader. Avatar does have the previous individual issues in print for online ordering, but it would be nice for new readers to binge on the series' beginnings in a reasonably-priced collected form before it gets too much further along. Either way, though, if alternate history, and intelligently explored questions of science-fiction and superpowers, are of interest, it's time to get caught up on Uber. Read Full Review
