  Remender's script is a bit uneven, but what matters most is that he's able to sell Sykes as a believable and identifiable protagonist.

But I found myself readily willing to overlook these sillier elements in favor of the bigger picture. Remender has quickly established Sykes as a character worth following amid all the gods and titans wandering the streets. I hope the incoming creators will be able to keep the quality of 1 Month 2 Live at a consistent level. Remender tends to set the bar high wherever he goes, but in this case there's still plenty of room for growth. Read Full Review
