Big bold ideas, huge stakes, heroism and difficult choices — this story arc is invigorating.

I love how throughout this run Mikkar kept setting up impossible odds, tough choices, and then surprising us with clever twists like with Ben going to kill the nascent bad guy and then… Sure, some of last issue seemed rushed, but it’s Millars audacity that has alienated crusty old readers who only want the same old stories they grew up with. For whatever flaws it mat have, this whole run is hugely entertaining.

I find Hickman a bit of a bore. The mediocre art doesn’t help.
