So I'll just say that it's a terrific comic - one of my all-time favorites! Read Full Review

This issue is really about trust and family. Sometimes the people you place your faith in let you down, whether by their own fault or other circumstances. Ellie's internal problem comes from choosing where to put your faith, and who to trust. Aside from the appearances by Samaritan and the very cool looking Mirage this issue is short on the action but nonetheless provides a really nice story. I'm interested to see how it turns out because, like many Astro City stories, the ending for regular people isn't always so black or white. We all have to make choices in life and while most of us don't have robots to rely on, we all can have inner strength. This comic was fun and I recommend it to everyone, especially long time fans of Astro City. Read Full Review

The slimy nephew taking advantage of the old woman is a bit pretty easy to see coming, but writer Kurt Busiek hints that there's far more to Ellie's story than we've seen so far. Worth a look. Read Full Review

Astro City issues fourteen and fifteen is probably my favorite story since the relaunch of the title. It's not as grand as the Winged Victory story or as fun as the Gentlemen Bandit story, but it is Astro City doing what Astro City does best. It looks at a superhero universe in an interesting and unique way that many people probably haven't thought about. Read Full Review

Astro City #14works because it's a story focused on its characters. Its themes concerning greed, disability, or even something as specific as the 2008 financial crisis may function, yet the comic only truly succeeds by providing readers empathy for Ellie, her friends, and even her enemies.
