The hunt for Arthur Curry continues, but Cray's decisions and plans are beginning to push his teammates to the brink of abandoning him. And when Cray's tumor begins to act in ways that it hasn't before, his underwater brawl may end with Cray floating up to the surface as a dead man.
With Hill's horrific villains and the art team's dark, moody art and top-notch action set pieces, this is quickly evolving into one of DC's best books and easily the best thing to come out of the Wildstorm line since Steve Orlando reinvented Midnighter. Read Full Review
Hill continues to unravel Michael Cray open by peeling back layers to his character, discovering what's making him tick, and putting him at odds with his supporting cast that could no doubt spell trouble for his remaining adventures. Read Full Review
All in all, Hill and his team deliver another fun issue that reminds readers why they like comics. Theres a bit of everything here with action, comedy, suspense and intrigue. Its not going for a super serious, dark and gritty tone and yet it works some serious moments into an action fueled issue about Michael Cray fighting an evil fish version of Aquaman. Read Full Review
Bryan Hill has a hit on his hand, wisely collaborating a bit with the well-versed Warren Ellis on this adventure. Read Full Review
This is better. The simmering mystery of exactly how Michael Cray gets his powers unexpectedly comes to the boil this issue and delivers some compelling moments of action and character development. While the art remains substandard, the central character has just become extremely interesting again. With the introduction of next month's threat for Cray revealed in a more dramatic – and weighty – manner than the usual everything-on-a-plate infodump, I'm feeling the stirrings of excitement in my jaded old gut again. Fingers crossed that this is the start of a big improvement. Read Full Review
No. The art is bad, as is the setup for the newly evil Telly Savalas-looking Constantine. There's not a lot to enjoy in this book. The developments of whatever it is that is in Cray's brain that's giving him superpowers as a malevolent force is kind of interesting, but there's no development there. Frankly, there's not a lot to like here. Read Full Review
A thoroughly skippable issue that amounts to exactly what you thought would happen at the end of issue #5. No twists, no interesting dialogue, and certainly no good art. Read Full Review
