Why is Vibe battling Batman? Our hero is in way over his head when he’s forced to turn against A.R.G.U.S.!
Okay, as a comic reader who cut my teeth on Legion, Teen Titans, Firestorm, and (of course) Supergirl, I have a soft spot for a title based on a young hero learning the ropes. Vibe settles nicely into that genre of comics and I have to say, I am enjoying it. Considering the fact that I have thought Vibe was a complete joke for 3 decades, I think kudos are in order for DC, Geoff Johns, and Sterling Gates. I suppose I will have to wait a bit to see a jail break from the Circus of captured interdimensional characters. But I better see one! Read Full Review
Vibe's adventures continue and we're starting to see things aren't going exactly according to A.R.G.U.S.' plans. Throughout the story, Sterling Gates is also developing Agent Gunn's character instead of just focusing on Vibe. Manuel Garcia and Fabiano Neves' art along with Brad Anderson's colors really works here. There is some concern with the direction of the book. There's a slight feeling of redundancy with Vibe going on missions for A.R.G.U.S. At least now he's starting to have some doubts. I'd like to assume there is a big overall plan and direction for this title. Vibe is an underdog in the DC Universe. He's a rookie. It's great seeing a 'new' character develop and try to find their place among everyone else. With Sterling Gates now on board, we are seeing more development in the series and I will continue to root for Vibe and this comic. Read Full Review
The art is divided between Manuel Garcia and Fabiano Neves. Garcia's pages are a little rough. His slightly tilted perspective is interesting, but the facial work is a little wonky. Neves' work, meanwhile fits right in line with the general execution of the book. It's not flashy or remarkable, but solidly executed. Read Full Review
Although this issue is better than last months, it still suffers from being a little too simple. It has some fun moments and on the whole entertains, but it is a throwaway read. The art doesn't help due to its pedestrian presentation. There is nothing inherently wrong with this issue other than it being a middle of the road read. Read Full Review
A slow issue with some questionable narrative choices, but it efficiently sets up some good action for next month. The fill-in art is quite strong, too. Read Full Review
