Archetypal phoned-in Grant Morrisson. One or two big-ticket ideas (not that big by his standards) but rather than being thought through and well-established, just slap on a veneer of somewhat edgy, pseudo-realistic dialogue, cool-but-meaningless terminology, a nod to history (to show you're getting to the very essence of the characters), a mere flitting across the mind of what-would-it-be-like-if-you-really-had-these-powers; finally as the whole edifice is going to crumble and the story tumble, we're distracted by the fireworks of a grand deus ex machina to save the day. Don't worry about what just happened, we can all go home.

As often the case with Morrisson, a lot of the ingredients were here for him to have done something worthwhile, but I guess he was distracted or something. Maybe just for panache it could get 2* but I've got a cold.

Weird and unpleasant. Jae Lee's art is nice, though. ( )
