Two years ago, super-genius Vril Dox gathered his team of R.E.B.E.L.S. to fight off one seemingly unbeatable foe: Starro the Conqueror. Now, Starro is back for revenge, and Dox's downfall has begun!
I do loves me some REBELS! This was a great set-up issue, as we learn that Starro is finally ready to take his revenge on Dox, and has already taken out one of Dox's big guns in Lobo. There were some good little character development scenes with Capt. Comet's pity party, and Dox possibly becoming romantically interested in Starfire's sister, Blackfire. THAT could have some crazy repercussions if anything was to develop there. As for complaints? It's REBELS, I don't have any! Read Full Review
If not quite as well-oiled a machine as books like Secret Six and T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents, R.E.B.E.L.S. is nonetheless a book stocked with likable, quirky characters that succeeds in offering DC readers a little something different. Read Full Review

This book continues to offer a refreshing breath of interstellar air, and this issue, in particular manages to offer up quite a story despite the lack of physical conflict. This issue offers a clear landing spot for readers to jump onboard before what appears to be another Starro-driven, galaxy-spanning adventure. Read Full Review
R.E.B.E.L.S. is missing a sense of direction for its story and characters. Each issue seems to be desperately buying time until the series can finally figure out a mission statement for itself. With mediocre art and limited character work, there's little to regard this title as special. Read Full Review
