Beaten but not broken after a deadly battle with Cyborg Overman, the Freedom Fighters are on the run once more. But who will take these fugitives from the Gestapo in? The American people, that's who. The citizens of Nazi-occupied America are beginning to believe that resistance is possible, and that the dream of freedom can be reborn anew, thanks to the efforts of Uncle Sam's crew. And Sam's got a plan in place to take back the country that fascism stole, starting at the very top...

    Both sides of the fight are going above and beyond to achieve victory in this issue and I was glued to the page every step of the way.  I love the art in this issue and the pacing of this story and by the end I only wish that the destination for our heroes' next attack would have been a little more set up..... but even that is a minor gripe for a series that has become one of my favorites out of DC Comics and I only wish more titles were like this one.

    The issue does make good on its promise to reveal a traitor in the midst though thankfully not in the way you might expect. Freedom Fighters keeps delivering each month and the only real question now is can DC let it go on beyond its original 12-issue deal? Read Full Review

    All in all it feels like one of the more procedural issues of the series, but that doesn't make it bad. Read Full Review

    VerdictFreedom Fighters #7 continues to stir a positive sense of connection to the American Spirit. While Freedom isn't solely an American notion, Uncle Sam thrives on it! The character development continues to engage the reader with additional exploration of Phantom Lady. Her hope helps drive an optimistic outlook despite the situation they are in. Read Full Review

    The bigger issue is that this series is still essentially a blank slate character wise. There's no one here to get invested in yet and while the Nazis are vile, they're also so one-note to provoke no real reaction. Read Full Review

    A fantastic study in what it means to be a normal Joe in the resistance. Plus, only one bean for the little girl. (Hee!) Venditti is just crushing this book. He's figured out the ebbs and flows of a 12 issue series...hit the high points every few issues, backfill with plot-important lulls. So, so impressed. Few writers have that down. Plus, there is character-critical development on most every page. We're learning about them, caring more about their outcomes. Art is on point, better than most DC books. It's just a great book, and I'm going to proudly own one of the 3 copies of issue 12 that DC bothers to print because nobody else is reading it.

    The art is amazing and the Plasstic Men are terrifying.

    Another month and another mildly diverting issue of Freedom Fighters. There are still no actual characters amongst the team, and the Nazis continue to be cut and paste baddies. Sadly the art is also less good than in previous issues (although still not bad). I've said in previous reviews what I think of the simplistic politics and jingoism, so I won't labour the point again here, but suffice to say that the use of black characters is fine - if rather obvious - but awareness of National Socialist race theory and policy is not something that Venditti displays much of. Ho hum.

    Bleh. I wish this was less black and white. The greys are what makes these types of stories interesting, but I guess we'll have to settle for good ol' patriotism. Because we know Nazis are bad. Which is why they're always used as villains in lazily written stories.
