It's good, but not as good as it has been. Let's see where the creative team can take it from here. Read Full Review
In summary, I expected this issue to push onwards and upwards after a rather stagnant last issue. Instead it undermined the expressly stated goals of the book in two ways. The science angle was turned into a bit of a joke (way beyond suspension of disbelief) and the crackpot G.I.R.L. team was bailed out by a dude. I still hold out hope for a title which had shown itself to be a lot of fun in the first 4 issues; but it needs to start doing better again, and fast. Read Full Review
Both Wasp and the GIRL Lab triumph, but a surprise cliffhanger spoils the happy ending. The GIRL group removes the bomb from Ying's head by jury-rigging a pair of Vision hands - and the actual on-page story is a lot less impressive than that summary. In this issue plotting, art, and colors are all struggling a bit, but the core characterization that makes Nadia and her friends easy to empathize with shines through. This title's racked up a lot of goodwill with rock-solid storytelling in previous issues; the rather weak effort made here burns up some of that credit.
Sadly, this Wasp is all too stoppable.
