Luke Fox assembled the Outsiders to brave the unknown. To discover the forgotten, to bring the hidden to light, and to use the truth underneath them all to find a better way forward. Little does he know the Drummer has a plan of her own--and she's one step closer to bringing it to fruition! Something happened at the turn of the millennium that shook the universe, and in this pivotal chapter, the Outsiders head into the strange shadows of London's underground to discover just what--or who--is at the center of this new crisis!
Outsiders #4 tells another brand-new story. Every single chapter of this series introduces a whole new adventure and investigation. The latest issue may be the closest to a superhero comic so far, and veering near that is the whole premise of the plot. Read Full Review
This is not only the best issue of the Outsiders relaunch so far, it might be one of my favorite modern single-issue tales that I've read in recent memory. Read Full Review
This is the kind of book that really hints at the full potential of the DCU when it's exploring some of the biggest and boldest concepts it has available. It also takes the big risk of not being afraid to show its team members as out of their depthshonestly, Batwoman and Batwing don't have too much to do this issue. It ends in a nicely ambiguous way that could hint at moreor just give us a fantastic done-in-one. Read Full Review
Carey delivers some fantastic art in the issue. The visuals have a wonderful style that drew me in to both the story and characters. Read Full Review
Outsiders #4 not only continues to reintroduce elements of the Wildstorm Universe, but it also injects plenty of humanity into a superhuman origin. More and more this book continues to set itself apart from other superhero fare a rare feat, but one this creative team seems confident in accomplishing. Read Full Review
Outsiders is truly becoming a standout series for DC. An excellent example of creative team synergy with the final result being a unique, compelling experience for the reader. Read Full Review
Outsiders #4 was an entertaining read and finally feels like it's building the title towards something. I'm looking forward to seeing exactly what Read Full Review
Overall, Wildstorm seems to be making a big comeback. Whether Drummer's suspicious behavior is leading to a betrayal is unclear, but the Outsiders are oblivious to what they know. Furthermore, Jenny Crisis will garner mixed reactions from readers. Her story is fairly intriguing, even if she won't ultimately join the series. Despite being one of the strongest issues so far, Outsiders' monster of the week format isn't doing the series any favors right now. In fact, I think the book could benefit from a bit more connectivity opposed to the feeling of randomness. Or at least do more exploration and discovery. Read Full Review
The Outsiders needs to pick up interesting storylines instead of utilizing a problem or villain of the week approach. Until then, the series falls flat. Read Full Review
The Outsiders #4 sets up a potentially powerful new ally (or enemy) for the team. That said, Jenny Crisis's powers may be too much to be practical, and the Outsiders are given nothing to do in this issue. In short, this issue is a mixed bag. Read Full Review
The art is stunning and the attempts to question the very premise of the superhero are interesting, but where is this headed?
Disclaimer: A YouTube buddy asked me to read this comic to do a review with him.
WTF did I just read? A comic book filled with unlikeable characters and no plot. Just a series of random events that are explained to you and actually mean nothing. And I don't know who that Batwoman character is because she sure ain't Kate Kane.
How does this get past editorial?
