This issue's greatest strength is that despite, by necessity, retreading familiar ground, the creators deliver a title that's entertaining on its own merits. By rights, this should read as a superfluous and inconsequential addition to Invincible canon, but Cereno and Bellegarde do such a good job of making young Eve their own that it's easy to forget the earlier origin. While I do prefer their more personal work (such as the excellent Hector Plasm and the peerless Walking Dad), this is a strong piece of work made all the more impressive by the limitations placed upon it.

Just a few weeks ago I watched that Eve special I missed when it came out. And I thought they decided to expand her origin from that 3-page back-up story to make a cool bonus episode. But no, it was an adaptation of this comic. Good to know. Honestly, I liked the show more. Especially because this artist here gives me some The Boys flashbacks mixed with... I don't know... Steve Dillon? Kirkman really praised this artist in the end of the comic, but I just can't agree. He's not bad, but it's not the style for this comic. And the story is pretty much okay. I actually really like that the show almost didn't change anything at all. At least anything major. It's a fine origin story.
