Rated T
Miles gets the (slim) majority of viewpoint time as the still-growing Champions team finds its footing in the Outlawed world. Opinions are widely divided within the team and in the public, and CRADLE is doing all too well at snatching teen heroes. This issue casts a wide net, and while it captures a lot of cool ideas, I think it slights characterization to explore plot points. The art is frenetic in a not wholly positive way; things get visually confusing when the fighting starts. Still, I've got enough goodwill saved up for these characters to keep following this volume.
