The Spirit of the 20th century returns for the 21st! Thinking her time on this world has finally ended, Jenny lays down to rest only to be woken by the horrific events of September 11th, 2001. Humanity still needs her, especially four seemingly random strangers in a bar. Will Captain Atom spare them from his murderous wrath? Or is Jenny in over her head?
Jenny Sparks #2 is the kind of issue that is full of fun substance while also striking up a conversation that is sure to keep readers occupied until the next issue. Read Full Review
This series is definitely not going to be for everyone, but similar to his Rorschach, it feels like it takes place in the world of superheroes but is also very much grounded in ours. Read Full Review
Jenny Sparks #2 could be an engrossing self-contained episode of TV. Set mostly in one room, it hooks you with a crazed fallen hero and a blas protagonist, not knowing where it's going to go. And with the title's short six-issue length, it could well be worth it. I mean, it already is for the art alone. Tom King excels at writing for specific artists, making his books perhaps the best-looking on the market. This one is no exception. Read Full Review
It's a very dense issue that feels overfull in places with its ultimate direction feeling increasingly unclear. Read Full Review
Tom King always starts his stories very well. This is often followed by long periods where he meanders and the story direction becomes unclear. The mark of a great writer is to tie it all together at the end. In the past King has not always nailed his landings. Hopefully he will for this story arc. So far the first two issues are detailed and thought provoking. Kudos to Jeff Spokes for the art.
