There's a lot of nail-biting action here, but not a lot of plot. The team members seem to be fracturing apart rather than forming bonds, and our hero is the puppet figurehead of some manipulative mastermind, rather than a true ruler or even the one calling the shots. That said, I liked the character designs, and the story flows well from personal crises to all-out brawls. Saving the world by conquering it: a rallying cry for our times?
