Tomas Ramirez is now in the small Mexican coastal town of La Calma, where other new freedom fighters allies intend to test a device to end the threat of the aliens forever. But the aliens have a counterattack plan of their own, so this certainly will be the Day of the Dead.
Robinson's script is tight and full of purpose. Sure, the exposition around a few plot points can be a little much, but it would be for Tomas, too. He needs to be caught up to speed, as we do, and so this is the reality of his life: many, many words delivered very, very quickly. As this first arc moves onto its back half, there are very few books I look forward to as much as "The Saviors." Read Full Review
It's always great seeing a creator do their own thing in a creator-owned series. James Robinson always has interesting ideas and getting to see his take on an alien invasion-type story has been fascinating. Seeing how he's changing the landscape for our main character (at least for the time being) gives plenty of variety to the story and makes it feel like we're looking at a bigger world. J. Bone's art is great and adds a nice feel to the overall atmosphere of the story. This is definitely a story you'll want to check out now to see what's going on. Robinson and Bone are creating something really cool and fun here. Read Full Review
"The Saviors" is developing into an exciting story but, only, if it stays fun. I recommend it. Read Full Review
The concept is still interesting, the art is still decidedly lovely, yet the effective but also kind-of cheap surprise and the slower progress of Tomas Ramirez as a main character makes for a good issue that is weighted down by some decidedly big faults. It's enjoyable, yet definitely flawed in some aspects. Read Full Review
