I really love this series.

I have nothing bad to say about it.

Everyone needs to read it.

It just can't come out fast enough.

Solid character work. Patrick Rothfuss used the comparison of Watchmen and The Twilight Zone to describe this series, and that's just perfect; and it further cements exactly why I am so in love with it. It feels genetically engineered to make me like it.

This particular issue centers around Golden Gail. (Basically Shazam but with a mild subversion). Art is solid. Mystery is intriguing. Everyone acts like real people. The drama is engaging without much happening.

That's the key to this- because there isn't much of a *story* happenin here. It's just a solid premise and intriguing characters existing within that premise.
And so far it's workin for me.

Your mileage may vary of course.

A lot of what was established in issue one was revisited in more depth. I'm torn, because while the scenes were good, I don't know what they added beyond examples of what was already known. We've got a group of former heroes who are trapped, unhappy, and falling far from where they once nobly stood (or pretended they stood). Now they are turning on one another.

I got the gist of this in the previous comic and here we're offered more facets of the same, even if it is well told/portrayed.

I'm excited for the next part because there will certainly be some advancement and change of pacing.

I wish I liked super hero stories. This one is really good. What happens to super heroes when they age? After they're not needed? Struggling to know who you are after you're not needed and too different to blend into society. I mean this is crazy! At least when you age as a human you have goals and if your lucky a partner to go on adventures with but when you are an ex-super hero the future looks meek.
