Falls Flat

I'm trying to think of some redeeming features of this comic. I'm glad it was in colour. Writing was like a kindergarten collage of sayings taped to the pages, images weren't much better. Was the art style supposed to be a simplified version of Aeon Flux? Lots of convenient plot devices, hardly any character, slow reactions, no real decision making, surprisingly dull for the amount of stuff crammed onto a page. I have the next three in the set, but think I'll pass the series along instead.

This is a pretty cool comic. The artwork is cool and well done and the story is interesting to start. I haven’t read the all of the other Onslaught epics and tie-ins, but this is a cool standalone.
