This issue might as well be called Tom Strong since it feels like one. A fantastic issue of writing and art by Lemire and Eaglesham! Read Full Review

With Eaglesham on board the book feels like the final piece is in place for the title to reach new heights. And with Lemire showing no signs of slowing down on the creativity, The Terrifics continues to live up to its name as one of DC's most entertaining monthly reads. Read Full Review

Combining a team of dynamic characters with an inventive tribute to the weirdness of the DCU, this book has yet to miss a beat. Read Full Review

But that is really the only complaint I have of the issue, and the Tom Strong part was so well done that I am in a forgiving mood. Read Full Review

The Terrifics #7 overall gets us on the right track. We are right where we want to be for the answers to questions that have gotten us from the first issue to this point. Read Full Review

Terrifics remains terrific and now we're joined with the Golden Age adventures of Tom Strong. Check it out if you love fun, action, adventure or even just a solid comic. Read Full Review

There are some interesting moments in this story and I enjoy the throwback feel of the Tom Strong storyline. I really hope that there is a satisfying way to bring these two stories together and that Dread is someone of significance that can flesh out the arc. Read Full Review

This is one of The Terrifics' best issues to date and it'll be interesting to see how Tom Strong is integrated into the wider DC Universe. Read Full Review

The New Age of Heroes titles fill a very important niche. They are prompts to the histories of comics, while embellishing some newer characters in engaging storylines. Eaglesham and Lemire know how to create just the right amount of tension and suspense. I'm hoping the next installment capitalizes on the set-up here. Read Full Review

As Lemire advances his story and finally takes the Terrifics to a place that has a bit more plot and a little less fun, he creates an interesting story that keeps the reader engaged with help from Dale Eaglesham. As the story continues I want to see what is in store for Tom Strong and what he means to Dr. Dread. Read Full Review

Terrifics #7 more-or-less continues the slump of last issue, and I am a little disappointed. While this issue is decidedly better and at least worth a soft recommendation, its hard to take Doc Dread seriously, and just co-opting Fantastic Four stories isnt the way to go. That said, I can recommend this issue, and you should feel free to check it out. Read Full Review

Go pay three dollars for this issue based on the artwork and layouts alone. Now that you've gotten more than your money's worth, you may notice that the story sort of wanders around until the big cliffhanger at the end. Yeah, it's not the most cohesive story in comics today, but that Dale Eaglesham artwork! Whew! Read Full Review

I'm really kind of at a loss with this book at this point. It's still cheap enough that I don't mind reading a bit more in hopes that everything comes together but it simply feels like it's continuing to miss out on its potential entirely and instead just wants to be a whole lot of bursting through things without any real weight or meaning behind it.

As I was reading this I kept thinking about Eaglesham's time on JSA.

The Terrifics continue to amaze, providing their iconic humor, some character development, and of course, continuing the mysterious Tom Strong story. It's great - what else could I say? Every month I'm repeating myself stating how good The Terrifics are, and this month is no exception. Great issue in a great run - enough said.

I am loving the pacing in this book. It reads like a proper silver-age book. The narrative is very silver-ageish here too, and it really works.

At first I was surprised that the Terrific wasn't in Tom Strong Earth already like the last cliffhanger suggested.
I like some part of the story other seem slowing down what I read, and not for good.

Cover - 1.5/2 a little in link & nice.
Writing - That was nice with some bumpy ride 1.5/2
Arts - Perfect love Eaglesham 3/3
Feeling - Mixed 1/2

THE GOOD:

-I liked the nostalgic feel of the first half of the book. Tom Strong was a pretty good character, but the overall feel of his story was great, and I want to see more.

-Excellent characters. Jeff Lemire is a great writer, especially when it comes to each of the four members of the team.

-I liked the art. Very nostalgic and it really gave the series a fun feel I enjoyed.

THE BAD:

-Not too much happens in the issue, making it not all that memorable. It mainly sets up the next issue, which isn't a huge problem, it just loses a lot of what makes a single issue great in my opinion.

"Is that... a ray gun?"

This the question Rex, former Metamorpho, asks Mister T. But before that happens we finally get to meet and see Tom Strong in action. He is a really efficient and effective super-hero. But then Doc Dread shows up and neither brains or brawn help Tom, no even his robotic butler H.E.L.P.eR.

We then jump to Earth Prime to see the Terrifics getting ready to pay Strong a visit. And we get to see one of the most soul-crushing sights imaginable... Plastic Man being sad and grumpy. It's just inhumane.

Overall, the issue is a slow one, but since it is a start to a new story arc, it can be expected. It does, however, have some really good visuals.
