Ironically the art gets better once Lashley and Immonen take over, but the whole concept of Critical Maas as the big bad feels like a letdown compared to the promise of the first book.

This book was baffling in a lot of ways. There is a sudden 15 year gap, and the conversations take place that have no purpose to be being had now when they would have a decade and more ago. Chicago makes me think a lot. The reveal of Joshua made me think a lot.

A comic about a group of children from one American town who were born with super powers (like the premise of Salman Rushdie's 'Midnight's Children'). Something like the X-Men, the characters are normal flawed humans with superheroic powers. The comic is dark and sombre in writing and artwork. The kids have grown up, targeted by their government, alienated yet invulnerable -- to normal humans but not to each other. This comic is filled with superhero fights and energy explosions, sometimes at the expense of clarity. no reviews | add a review
