Take another step into the world created in The Resistance. You're fifteen years old. You're suddenly granted incredible powers. Cool, right? There's only one problem: you can only use your powers for ten minutes at a time. What do you do when you have to save the world but you only have ten minutes to do it? This is the problem faced by Oliver Leif, a teenager who has just moved to a new town, and a new school, and is having a hard enough time navigating classes and his crush before the inter-dimensional monsters started showing up.
An all-silent issue is a bold move to take when you're only two issue into a 5-issue mini-series, But, Kaare Andrews more than makes it work. A emotionally charged sophomore issue that places the art front and centre as we follow our young hero through a day in his life. Read Full Review
E-Ratic #2 is a fun and enjoyable comic. The conceit of having Oliver's powers last only ten minutes is a nice and unique touch. There's something about it that makes it feel nostalgic, like on Knight Rider where Kit only did a turbo boost once per episode. If you haven't already picked up a copy of this book, snag it before it's too late. Read Full Review
The "10 minutes of powers per day" leaves a lot of tine to fill. It's a lot of young high school stuff, and that's not appealing to this reader. Think an old school Peter Parker book with only sporadic Spider-Man.
Art is manga-inspired.
