Despite my endless praise of this mini-series, I'm sure many of you flat out ignored it. I highly recommend buying the trade once it comes out. Just like Requiem last year, you'll find a transcendant comic book experience that few other recent Marvel works can rival. With any luck, Marvel will bundle both mini-series together in one hardcover. Bundled or separate, you really can't go wrong with In Thy Name. Read Full Review
The only way I can see fixing it, is collecting it as an oversized hardback or trade, so the art is at least blown up some and the action is easier to follow (or even to distinguish). But I really don't see that happening. So while I really want to give it a higher score, the art problems really do make it a chore to read, so I'll settle for the average 3 bullet score. It's worth reading, especially if you enjoy comics anthologies like Metal Hurlant, 2000 AD, or even Heavy Metal... without the swearing, sex, and violence, that is. Read Full Review
I still don't fully understand how the Ama treated the Brekks. Were the Brekk actually being oppressed? Were they under colonialism by the Ama? If so I don't find this "both sides are the same" approach as a good one.
