    It's a powerful moment, sure, coming on the heels ofa super-dramatic moment when Savior 28 wakes up on September 12th. Mike Cavallaro's art comes across as a hybrid of Bruce Timm and Jack Kirby, with it's own unique touches, and really conveys the drama of the story with broad (but not simple) strokes. The issue reminds me a bit of Powers, with less talky-talky and ultraviolence... I'm still not entirely sold on the use of the events of 2001 in fictional constructs, but it works here because it's not the primary focus, just another brick in Savior 28's wall of self-loathing. I'm interested to see where this story is going, and I'm definitely on board for more. The Life and Times of Savior 28 works with archetypical characters and settings, giving us something you don't see in a lot of comics: a whole new take.
