For fans of martial arts, horror, or simply damn fine stories, this is a book for you. There is no doubt it's for mature audiences, but if you fit the bill, it's highly recommended. Read Full Review
This issue contains some super deep character work pulling back the curtain a bit further enabling us to see what lies inside some of the darkest shadows in a world full of them. Remender continues to prove Deadly Class belongs on the pull lists of those of us in love with the art of storytelling whether in the valleys or at the peaks, a good story is just that and one thing I have come to know as fact is that Rick Remender delivers good stories. 4/5 Read Full Review
In the chaotic, character-filled battles of Deadly Class, each new issue has a consistent method of offering just enough to keep readers going. Read Full Review
It might be easy to overlook the standard of comic book excellence that "Deadly Class" has maintained throughout its run, but issue 33 makes it difficult. Read Full Review
All in all, this issue is half great, half okay. The scenes between Kenji and Saya and Marcus and Viktor are well done, with the latter being less than what it should be but still really good. The other parts of the book are merely okay. Petra and Helmuts pages sell Petras aversion to killing, but ends on a strange note and the presentation of Zenzeles origin feels weird and out of place. The book also feels really short, which is another detriment. The last issues fast pace carries over to this issue and it doesnt really work here. This isnt a bad comic, but its not up to the books usual par. Read Full Review
"Deadly Class" #33 is a pretty awesome comic, and a pretty awesome second chapter of an arc. The issue opens with Saya and her brother in a hard-core brutal scene...this book is not for the faint of heart! Then, Marcus and Victor engage in a fight that is awesomely portrayed by Wes Craig, who never fails to make this book look amazing--the sequencing of the fight is excellent. Finally, we kind of get the origin story of Z, which is shocking in typical "Deadly Class" style. Love this book.
