The characterization here is so good that it just makes me want to see this level of nuance in the character in other books. Read Full Review
The latest chapter of Amanda Wallers origin presents a steady yet entertaining glimpse into the past. Ridley exposes readers to the true nature of Waller with the writing. Martinez and the art team focus heavily on the emotionless state of a force to be reckoned with. Knowing where things lead from here, it adds more context to an already complex character.

Although I liked this issue a little bit more than the last one, I'm still finding this story very dull. It's not horrible, but it's not great. It's just meh. Even though I mentioned that this series needed like one or two more issues to flesh out Waller's character development, I'm glad that we just have one issue left. We'll see if it can end on a good note. Read Full Review
Not quite as good as the first issue, but still good nonetheless. This series continues to give us interesting motivations for Waller prior to the events of the main Absolute Power series and her whole "overarching villain arc" in general. I just hope this mini closes out strongly.
