You Don't Read Comics - Brandon Masters
Jun 26, 2018If you've ever wanted to see a grim and dark hero become the butt of life's jokes, this is the issue for you. It doesn't hurt that it's also a pretty enjoyable tale with a solid setup for next issue. Read Full Review

Jun 29, 2018Will Sliney steps in to the writing duties with this issue replacing Andr Lima Arajo. While I don't dislike Arajo's art, I never felt it was a good match for these characters. Based on this comic, Sliney feels like a better fit. Worth a look. Read Full Review

Ben and Kaine are back to their independent stories: Seeking out super-science help for Abbie and tangling with a leftover Mindless One, respectively. Each story gets an encouraging dollop of forward progress. Unfortunately, a pair of negatives drag the issue right back down to "average at best": It's severely decompressed (especially Ben's story), and the art's fallen off the wagon hard when it comes to computer-generated settings - ugly ones. At least the characters still look good.
