Sixpack travels to the ends of the earth in his search for answers, but Dogwelder has already come face-to-face with his own past. The awful truth about Section Eight begins to dawn on our ragged little band-but just when things are at their bleakest, a hero appears with exactly the solution they're looking for. Not a minute too soon, as the long-awaited threat finally appears in Gotham City...
As the series comes to a close, Six-Pack at least remains convinced of his own heroism, but Ennis has already made his point about the futility of the never-ending superhero genre. "This is his world. His dream. Whichever," muses the narrative voice (or is it our own?) "As dreams go... well. I suppose you could do worse." It's rare thing that a comic book feels not only fully complete but deflating at the same time, with a character that appears to be wholly contented within and observably tragic end. As every comic book reader knows, the end of one book is merely the beginning of the next chapter of the endless story. Read Full Review
Fans of the series arerewarded with an ending that is more silly than touching, which is just what wewant. Superman acts as Six Pack's guide through his emergence as a hero, whichinvolves probably a lot more vomiting than most rebirths. I mean, I bet HalJordan puked a little when he got rid of Parallax, but do you think it wasenough barf to stand on? Ennis and McCrea have done a great, crass thing withthis book. It's not for everyone, but it's for me and other deplorable humanswith no moral compass like myself. Read Full Review
