THIN AIR PART 3 Spider-Man joins forces with Jessica Jones, Ben Urich and Kat Farrell to bring the Green Goblin to justice!
The Pulse is really finding its feet as a title, managing to capture the point of view that made Deadline such a fun and original read whilst maintaining the strong roots of characterisation that have made Bendis' name in the field. The artwork, whilst cartoonish, is solid and professional with credit due to colourist Pete Pantazis for his excellent, atmospheric work. A good read. Read Full Review
I also have to say there's a great J. Jonah Jameson moment in the opening pages of this issue, as even though the character only says three words, one can instantly tell Robbie's speech is simply his repeating a speech that Jonah made earlier. I also have to say the more I see of it the more I'm becoming convinced that the pairing of Jessica Jones and Luke Cage is the best move Brian Michael Bendis ever made, as the two characters were made for each other. As for the art Mark Bagley continues to deliver some solid work, with the visual highlight of this issue being the double-page spread where the character imagine who the killer might be. I also have to say I loved the return of the old Daily Bugle sign on the cover. Read Full Review
Third issue, third Spider-Man cover, still no Spider-Man inside. We do at least hear his name, though, so he might actually justify the marketing yet. Read Full Review
Now that the story is established I think this series has really found its identity. This is a very simple "boots on the ground" story that looks into several characters that we know well from supporting roles in other peoples comics. Now characters like Ben Urich finally get a chance to make a name for themselves.
