When I first starting writing the Rankings for this week, I had Freedom Fighters at #5; then, every time I flipped through it, I found something else that I loved about itnext thing I know, it's the Read Full Review
It's a very full issue that has a lot of information to offer the reader. I may not be running back to my local comic shop to add this to my pull list right now, but I'm definitely in for issue #2. These characters may not be my favorites, but neither were the characters in "Atlas." This is a very good combination of writers, artists, and story making the characters compelling enough for me to say that I'm looking forward to the adventurous tale waiting for us in the next issue.

It's the first issue of a new series featuring a team that we don't see normally in the comic books. It's tough to judge the pilot of a series essentially. I'd recommend this book though. Palmiotti and Gray are great writers and I'm sure there will be some more explanation of who these characters are and the team within this story arc. Read Full Review
I think, like most group hero books, this title has a lot of potential - but this issue didn't get it off to a great start. Read Full Review
The script jumps between characters in the early pages, each dealing with their own weird, wacky conflicts. Even when the full team bands together, the issue can't seem to decide what the conflict of the story is. Is it the search for a fabled Confederate super-weapon? Is it the hunt for the kidnapped Vice President? Is it the presence of mysterious spirits within a remote mountain? Palmiotti and Gray seem to throw a wide array of situations and ideas on the page in the hope that some will stick. s a result, the series feels too cluttered and unfocused for its own good. Some of the dialogue can be downright silly at times, which only further screws with the tone of the book. Freedom Fighters isn't that far off from being a worthwhile read. The team is interesting, some of the ideas at play are clever, and the art is solid, if cluttered at times. What Palmiotti and Gray need to do is sit back, simplify things, and let the characters breathe. Hopefully issue #2 will mark a return to form Read Full Review
