Deadly Classhasseveral levels of storytelling that can be peeled back like an onion, and that is a testament toa creative team that is firing on all cylinders. Even in an issue where the sole goal seems to be to bring the core group of characters together to bond, it is done so in a daring, innovative way. As in each of the previous three issues, the shocking moments, in this case the heavy drug use, are used to illustrate a deeper point about how damaged these kids are. That's what this book is ultimately about; messed up kids who have fallen between the cracks attempting to survive in a world that has treated them like shit. Deadly Classis a powerful, must read book, and there is really nothing like it in comics Read Full Review

"Deadly Class" has been impressive from the start with its bold, aggressive and unapologetic concept and commitment to that concept. However, issue number four is the best issue yet, by a good distance, and I'm on the edge of my seat to see what this creative team will bring next. Read Full Review

Deadly Class # 4 -it does seem things are going to get deadly serious. Read Full Review

Wes Craig continues to impress with his dense, intricate panel arrangements. Colorist Lee Loughridge also ups his game, using an almost citric palette to bring Las Vegas to life in between Marcuss hallucinations. Deadly Class #4 is a visually twisted take on the teens of Gen. X. Read Full Review

Issue #4 is a great blend of 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' mixed with late '80s teenage angst set in a violent world of potential assassins. Read Full Review

It's a solid issue from what's turning out to be a great series, but would we really expect anything less from Remender and Craig? Deadly Class has become one of my most looked forward-to titles every month, due in no small part to the story's rawness and the honesty of the narratives. It's a book not to be missed, and this issue is yet another blistering showcase for Craig and Remender's talents as co-creators. Read Full Review

In fact, “Deadly Class” #4 on the whole seems to be a sort of transitional piece for the series as a whole. It's become a bit less focused on just Marcus's story, finally bringing in the rest of the cast to the spotlight while offering a ton of timely humor (or 1987 humor at least). Expanding on the rest of the world where King's Dominion resides gives the series a greater level of depth, moving away from just Marcus's quest from vengeance into a more extensive look at adolescence, drugs, and punk rock. This is probably the first issue of “Pretty Deadly” that's bereft of violence and through that choice Remender and Craig give their series a ton of versatility. “Deadly Class” has always been a comic to have on your radar but with issue #4 it's elevated its quality even further. And if the end of the issue is any indication, the next few chapters of the “Deadly Class” saga are gonna be pretty damn wild. Read Full Review

Story wise, I think Issue #4 is the most basic. But art wise, this one could one of the best. The promise offerings in this issue suggest that #5 is going to be a real doozy in both story and art. And to that, I say, bring it on! I know that I am ready to see what happens next. And I must say that keeping the little tidbits of Wes Craig's art process has been an added touch allowing these single issues to have a feel of a trade paperback. For that, I say thanks and I am looking forward to see where we go from here. Read Full Review

Gotta run, digital mountains are coming! But before they do, give this awesome book a read! Read Full Review

The overall story is pushed forward ever so slightly, but it is really Willie that takes the spotlight here. We get to see how he deals with death, and what its like to be behind a murder. Its still unclear as to which way hell fall, and if this will become a regular thing, but the cracks in these kids are becoming more clear with each passing month. None of them are who they said they were, and none of them are the resident badass they want to be. Read Full Review

Deadly Class #4 seems to be setting up for something exciting and thrilling the next issue, but it doesn't really go anywhere much beyond that. Despite some decent writing and good interactions between the cast, the characters aren't particularly likeable and the story is on the weak side. The comic does seem to be heading somewhere interesting and exciting very soon, but right now, it is just having a rather weak showing. Read Full Review

The latest issue of Deadly Class is definitely a unique one, and with a big gap between where it starts and where it finishes still existing, this is going to carry over at least another issue. As a result, the book feels a little disappointing only in that readers are going to wish they had more of a complete tale. Instead, they will have to wait to see how it all comes together. Remender doesn't disappoint though, not only providing some fun sequences, but closing with a very interesting tease. Not the best issue so far, Deadly Class #4 is still a solid book with fantastic art and possibly the best cover of the run so far. Read Full Review
