Reviews

[Steve Peifer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Gail Simone is the greatest comic writer of our generation, and this is the best example of how spectacular a comic book can be.

Consider how she adds layers to Shiva, who had been a one dimensional villain. The way she shows her vulnerability regarding her mentor is a masterclass in good writing.

Simone is so excellent with dialogue that you marvel at character interaction and realize that they sound like real people.

I haven’t even mentioned how groundbreaking her work in creating three dimensional super heroines. She changed the way we looked at them.

Besides the great writing, the art by Ed Benes is next level.

If you have been away from comics, this is the best reason to come back home.
