"Gang War" continues with a fast-paced, energetic story that both finds its strength and weaknesses in its reckless abandon-like structure. Read Full Review

This was another fast-paced issue for the series and while that's not necessarily a bad thing, I think it did take away from my enjoyment of the book this time around. Maybe it's because Gang War hasn't lived up to the expectations I initially had for it, but I just wasn't feeling this storyline like I was with the first two.

A long fight that does end in resolution, although without any weight to it. This can be blamed partly on the Gang War event, which is weak, and partly on lackluster writing; the art is a little chaotic and for this to work the quips, jokes, and interplay between the characters needs to be the main feature--and that did not stand out here the way that it has at times earlier in this run. I think that this book will go back to being stronger once the event is over. This issue felt like filler, done out of obligation to the event, but a little more spice in the dialogue would've made it easier to forgive. This particular fight also involved entirely too many Z-listers.

It's got a lot of action. That's about it. Feel like the last bunch of issues in this series are all action and no substance. Just felt like more of the same.
