    A nice use of a classic character and some closure for the hero makes for a satisfactory close. Read Full Review

    When taking risks on books like this you need results when the future is not certain. Ethan and Damage could be heroes at this point, established in their own corner by now, but a few issues too many kept this book from grabbing eyes the way it could or should have. With that said, still a solid story that gave us characters worth seeing more of down the road. Read Full Review

    I doubt Damage will ever appear again in a major role besides maybe as background cannon fodder in a big event, but it's worth noting that he ends the sixteenth issue in exactly the same place he was in the first. He's still a loner, still mostly a blank slate, and Damage is still largely out of his control and serves as a "Dark side" to the meek civilian. Just bland and forgettable. Read Full Review

    Overall, as a whole, the final issue of Damage was like most every other issue of Damage, where the problem is solved as soon as Damage is able to come too and save the day.  There's some small growth with Ethan here, but coming in literally the final issue of the series, we'll most likely never see it go beyond that.  In the words of the late great Dennis Green, Damage "is what we thought it was", a Hulk-like attempt at a book that just never expanded on that very basic concept.  Read Full Review

    The character isn't bad, and I wouldn't hate to see him again in another book, but the Damage series was ready to sail off into the sunset. Read Full Review

    Damage is going to end up in the $1.00 rack with some other titles from years gone by. I really had hoped this would have worked out as a "HulK" or "Doomsday turned good" character for DC, but I'm glad he's sailing off into the sunset. I hope he finds an island with cheap drinks and an easy way to get into a witness protection program. He and We are better off with him gone! Read Full Review
