Heroes Reborn #6 pits a pair of gods against each other while setting up a confrontation between the Avengers and the Squadron Supreme. With only one issue left in the series, Aaron and company are racing toward the grand finale and only one team will have the right to call themselves "Earth's Mightiest Heroes." Read Full Review
D'Urso does great work with the art in the Power Princess story. There is awesome action throughout and an energy to the imagery. McGuiness delivers some beautiful art in the Thor story and captures the majesty of the character. Read Full Review
The penultimate chapter of this series is the best so far! You get a cool "one and done" story and you also get the build-up to next issue's finale!! Read Full Review
Princess Zarda and Thor work well as foils that allows both characters to be dynamic and unique. Read Full Review
Heroes Reborn #6 focuses its attention on Power Princess, an impressive fill-in for Thor albeit much more evil. Seeing how a godlike figure with a temper and moral failings serves as a major hero in the Marvel universe is intriguing thanks to nods to familiar events and stories. Read Full Review
‘Heroes Reborn' #6 and it's the turn of Princess Power to grab the spotlight. And it's the best issue by far. Although that's not too easy given how poor this overall event has been. But, nonetheless, it delivered great art and a great script and made me want more from this Wonder Woman knock-off. Read Full Review
If the issue was intended to be just a one shot, it would probably be better, but as part of a larger series"and a major event at that"it just feels like filler. Read Full Review
Power Princess, portrayed here in "vodka aunt" mode, goes to Asgard to see (and fight) Thor as he shakes off his amnesia. I love this take on Zarda. She's vain, bloodthirsty, and lonely, but Jason Aaron avoids the cliche trap of making her an out-and-out sadist. The art is perfect for the script's tone; Erica D'Urso's cartoony exaggerations are just right for a story that flirts with going full-blown farcical. Plus, the end of the A strip suggests a little big-picture plot movement as the Squadron finally realizes they have an Avengers problem.
This is not my favorite issue. It pulls from the least good aspect of Aaron's Thor run, which is the crude, dressed-up in slight pomp humor. In small doses, it's fine. But when your entire event is about a pastiche of the JLA, and each character is kind of a joke in one way or another, the crude humor is amped up when gods are involved. I did like the fight between Thor and Power Princess, but like, this is probably the least good issue of the event so far. It's fun. This event is super fun. I just think previous issues have been *more* fun.
Theres parts I really liked and some I didnt. I think this might be my leash favorite but, it still is entertaining like they all have been.
Just like (most of) its predeccessors, Heroes Reborn is a blast to read though it did leave me slightly dissapointed.
It's well written with the character at its core, in this case Power Princess, being a smart twist/pastiche of Wonder Woman that can (pretty much) stand on it own. The artwork is very nice for both stories even if it has some annoying colouring mistakes here and there.
Where the dissapointment comes in is the pacing and Power Princess characterization. The pacing is too fast. The book feels much shorter then it actually is and thus left me unsatisfied.
When it comes to Power Princess's, Zarda's, character she's too close to being a villain to my liking. I enjoy what is here, the old warrior who revel more
It felt somewhat lazy, I think that the lack of creativity is more infectious than the covid. Regardless that the princess power can be confused with WW now they are also doing the nonsense that DC does of putting back stories. That has harmed DC comics more than benefited them from my point of view.
It is not a comic to burn, it has funny things, its plot is very stagnant.
A very uneven and rushed issue as all others were but this one has to be the lowest for me. At this point mindless fun can't keep the engine going. My interest is fading in this series. The art was good but unpolished and inconsistent in some places. D'Urso has a future in this business.
While it's the best issue since issue 2 I wished the art was more consistent. The squadron Supreme are basically carbon copies of the crime syndicate. The action is lackluster and I wished instead of one shots we actually see how the squadron Supreme faced events in multiple issues instead of it cramming in one issue.
Just pure cringe.
