I just realised I'd not been in here since last Friday when I went to my LCS and happily discovered that issues # 3 and # 5 had arrived. So the weekend was spent reading # 3- # 5 with much enjoyment.
I have to say that this is a comic so well structured, paced, drawn and written that it almost hurts (in a good sense, somehow). It just pulls you into the fiction, grabs you and takes you for an amazing ride. The best way to summarize it, I guess, would be to say that it's a whole heckuva lot of fun! Without being convoluted, and with a full emphasis on continuous fun action with a side twist of drama, Wayne and JB have managed to successfully project an entire superhero universe into being.
What have we got so far: * Silver Back - who obviously has a back story which we do not yet know. * Lord Everos and his lackey Phobia - a main villain of epic proportions and vile servant. * Icky Vickie - yeah! * The smart school kid turned villain (name escapes me at this moment) * The Foundation - a greatly composed team that I sincerely hope Wayne will treat us to some own mini with. * The Aegis group - with Circe and a lion whose transformed identity is implied as one of two ancient heroes as far as I could tell. * Jack and his arc, and the armor he picked out... * and of course Home Front, which I'm dying to learn more about.
Fun! Fun! Fun!
Want more! Need to know more of when whatever comes next comes? Is the info anywhere?
