Coates is putting together a worthwhile arc here, it just needs a bit more of a shot in the arm. Read Full Review
I think Coates has successfully reeled me back in. As long as he continues to have something to say, I'm on board. This can turn into a bad book if Coates's writing feels uninspired, so it's crucial that he maintains this going forward.
" Wilson fisk never liked being called the Kingpin of crime. But he loved MR.Mayor. The Kingpin was an outlaw. A thug. An enemy to society but MR.Mayor was society. Wrerever he walked. The greatest city in the world walked with him. And if you took a shoot at MR.Mayor, you took a shoot at that city. And there were some who'd yell from the remparts... The mayor has fallen. And so must rise up "
- STEVE ROGERS.
This and last issue really was a step forward and I feel like we actually keep getting information rather than just tossing ideas around.
I think one of this volume's problems is that the writer doesn't make any structural allowances for his changing art roster. This issue delivers another demanding scene where the captions send Steve off into the philosophical tall grass and the art needs to convey a clear fight, by itself, while also matching the pace of Steve's thoughts. Mr. Coates is perhaps less aware than he should be that not every artist can do that job as well as Leinil Francis Yu did.
Coates is the master of back and forth, I bet he has a hard time with break ups, cant say I blame him tho Im back and forth with this title as well. This issue was better...still its boring and dragged out and his mysterious style is crap.
Intriguing.
