Deodato's art has its usual quirks and the narration can get a bit hokey but "The Resistance" #5 is a perfect example of how to tell a story that sets up others without sacrificing itself. Read Full Review
The revolution in the Ukraine is amazing, another good issue.
With that said, I've decided that I really don't like the layout style that uses extra gutters for no reason; they're just distracting, busy, and serve no purpose. They're awful, let's move beyond this gimmick, please.
