Mar 14, 2023This is a unique comic that doesn't always 100% make clear what it's supposed to be, but like just about every other King comic, it's a fascinating ride. Read Full Review

AIPT - David Brooke
Mar 14, 2023Danger Street #4 continues to deliver modern and mature superhero comics you rarely see. This is the narrative you show someone who makes fun of comics, not because it's adult, but because it's nuanced and takes every scene very seriously. Read Full Review

Mar 15, 2023There's abundant incident with shocking new deaths and encounters, but these moments lack weight as the dead characters are more archetypes than people and the encounters primarily threaten to reveal what this story is really about. Read Full Review

I really enjoy the tone of this book. The ideas are all interesting, with the potential to really blossom into effective messaging and themes (Not quite there yet). The art is great. They just really need to start tying things together more. They've started to, but it's still a bit chaotic, and that is what drags this book down for me.

The pacing of this book is a whole other animal. King uses the inherent mundanity found in "calm before the storm" type sequences to lower your defenses and prevent narrative predictability, just to hit you with a page turning reveal moving at 100 miles an hour! Though the prose is dominated by seemingly useless anecdotal clutter, the actual STORY and PLOT are wonderfully executed thanks to King's direction and Fornes' brilliant art.

The art is great and the writing is also great. I like the portrayal of almost every character in this story so far and the whole "knight tale" gimmick is kind of nice. So why don't I like it as much? Well, I'm not sure, but in this issue, the jab taken at the good aspects of the DC universe became quite annoying. "Why won't we call superman?". Thankfully this is not the main continuity.

Great art and lots of vague ideas that are interesting, but nothing so far to convince me why I care. The evil Green Team, for instance, feels like something Mark Russell would do, but there's none of the depth or insight to the anticapitalist themes that Russell would bring, they're just bad kids with money being confronted by one-dimensional antiheroes. Maybe I'll feel different when I see where this is going, but a third of the way in I'm still waiting on the promise of this series to feel like anything more than promise.
