Michelle Metcalf's descent into desperation and violence in the name of vengeance reaches its lowest point when her trail of blood leads her into an epic confrontation with Earth's greatest and mightiest heroes-the Praetorians. It's a conflict in which Michelle is outnumbered and out-powered, and she'll never be the same.

    Torrent continues its strong run as this story arc builds to its epic conclusion. This issue features the familiar trope of superhero battling superhero, but it's well done and filled with emotion. Read Full Review

    The Super Powered Fancast - Deron Generally May 31, 2023

    Greewood's art beautifully captures the gritty, dark tone of the story and the visuals are filled with great details. I love the art style and how it captures the mood of every scene. Read Full Review

    AIPT - David Brooke May 30, 2023

    Torrent #4 doesn't hold back with the no holds barred superhero fight scenes. This issue is like a side quest as Crackjack must fight through the world's greatest heroes, and she's severely outmatched. That said, the creators show nothing can stop a grieving mother who seeks justice in any way she can. Torrent continues to take chances in the best of ways pleasing anyone who liked Image's other excellent take on heroes, Invincible. Read Full Review

    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff May 31, 2023

    Michelle continues to march her way to her destiny. Guggenheim has given himself a real challenge in giving the climactic completion of the first arc next month. Michelle is seriously compromised going into the big climax. It will be difficult to frame the showdown at the end of the opening arc with the kind of intensity that hes managed to find in Michelles battle with the rest of her former teammates. Guggenheims done a good job with the series thus far, which suggests a sharp understanding of pacing and intensity for Michelle. Theres every reason to think that Guggenheim is going to maintain the right form through the end of the first arc of the series. Read Full Review

    While Torrent #3 offered a sliver of hope that it's protagonist Michelle was starting to become a little bit less of a caricature, issue #4 reversed course and doubled down on the angry wronged woman with a taste for blood and vengeance of it all, then went heavy on those tired cliches.
