As Spider-Woman seeks help from some of Earth's greatest heroes, explosive villain NITRO and his spooky alien pal NADA make their move!
Rated T+
Ann has given us an intense, action-fueled storyline filled with dynamic characters. I love to see the internal monologues that cross the minds of Carol and Nitro as they figure out what their role in this story is. She showcases that even the strongest heroes or villains can doubt their choices and that makes them just as vulnerable and human and the angsty teens intertwined in this story. Paolos art is stunning and drives home the all the turmoil and suspense driven in Anns writing.I am loving this story arc and I cannot wait for the next issue with the introduction of the Feral Five!

Villanelli delivers some great art in the issue. I love the backgrounds and the general visual tone of the story. Tartaglia enhances the visuals with great, bright and engaging colors. Read Full Review
There are some elements of Dark Tempest that are proving to be delightful, but a lot of the ordeal comes across as unfortunately clunky. Read Full Review
With most of the characters spewing so much contempt at each other, it's hard to dismiss the feeling that the author doesn't like them--or the readers--very much. Stupid decisions and irrational motivations abound.
The art's decent, though. Sometimes it feels like it's telling a different story than the script, and I think I'd rather follow that one.
Ms. Nocenti deserves an extra serving of scorn for resurrecting that obsolete trope about police not responding to a missing person report until 24/48/however many hours have passed. That's not true. It's so not true that throwing it around, even in fiction, is reprehensible.
