The Good
Art-Tyler Kirkham, oh how I love your art! The dynamic colors make this a very gorgeous book!
Cover- Kyle bound on his knees with every emotional spectrum known to man? I like it! I had to stop the urge to make a “Kneel before Zod” joke. lol
Brief interlude- We already know through advanced solicits that the group reforms with new members, larfleeze, Carol Ferris etc. I must say I’m disappointed that my girl Fatality will be gone from the titles since I won’t have an excuse to review this book in the coming months. I’ll still be buying it but you guys won’t get my feedback since we will no longer have a “black hero” in the book 🙁
Continuity- Love the little touches like the Yellow Ring malfunctioning, the bond between Arkillo and Saint Walker, the bond between Sayd and Ganthet, how his violation by the guardians has affected her profoundly, Kyle’s place as unique in the universe all this really added much needed depth to the issue.
Action- Invictus vs the New Guardians round 2, action junkies will b very happy.
The Bad
The end of Fatality on this book 🙁
Invictus seemed way depowered this issue, some may hate that!
The Ugly
Well this issue answers the question raised from this series since Issue #1 and sets up what is to come. Overall: 4/5
