If you want to critique something in a fantasy setting, you have to be smart and walk the line between reality and metaphor. Military bad things happen because America secret King can mind control you is a stupid level of wonky. Literal "I'm 14 and this is deep" stuff that doesnt really say anything interesting yet desperately wants to. The rest of the run has been pretty dull as well.

Not bad, but very by-the-numbers.

I think Waid0s writing is fine. Effective, well-paced without losing sight at characterization. However, I ahve to admit I'm not the biggest fan of how he's revising Kingodm Come at the moment, and I also think David has lost something in the transition from Boy Thudenr to the much more overtly evil Thunderman.
