As there is no UK graphic novel entry on the platform for this yet, I'm using this to log my completion of this series.
As much as Tommy Lee Edwards art is interesting, it's also inconsistent. I wish, wish, wish Quitely had done the interiors for this whole series. If that had been the case, I'd have put this up there with the very greatest graphic novels of all time, because Quitely's work does a great deal in dulling the speed of Millar's writing.
Yet again more excellent concepts, and in particular I really enjoyed the subplots that were simmering in the background such as Brandon's release from prison and the trio of hooded gents going around removing heroes' powers. The flaws are the same. Not enough time taken exploring the characters, the themes, the motivations. Things happen abruptly, dialogue comes across as unnatural.
But the story is great. I'm loving the story. I'm just a bit sad the show was not very good and was cancelled because I would've liked to have seen a showrunner and team of writers bring out the things the comic lacked in the same way shows like Invincible does.
