BONUS REVIEW by Stephen Banas
This issue has officially turned this series around in my mind. The first five started off cool, but it was seemingly going nowhere. After the crazy twist at the end I am now fully on board. JR Jr.’s pencils in this book were again solid. My only beef is Millar, yet again, gets too trendy and tries to throw in funny pop culture references. I know this is a modern book, but I just don’t think the lines are funny and it becomes dated very quickly. I had to nitpick though because otherwise this series is phenomenal!
