| Pro Review: | By Peter Silvestro
My primary fear about the first issue has been avoided: the issue is not a fragment of a story as was the first issue but shows that the writer can pace a story and actually have something happen. On the other hand, after the non-stop action scene that was issue one, the slower pace allows us to see that the art isn’t very good, especially in all the oddly-shaped angular faces that change from panel to panel. That will be hard to get used to. The big story this issue is the introduction of Pat Savage, promoted from celebrity beautician to TV news media mogul, in keeping with more modern sensibilities. Unfortunately we don’t see a lot of her personality: she’s a professional, she can fight, she has a slightly jaundiced view of her famous cousin; however, we don’t get the delightful Pat Savage from the original pulps. Maybe soon, sigh. The Justice, Inc installment is much superior in writing and especially art, now that I’ve accustomed myself to the darker grimmer take on the character. This is the series to watch, even though nothing much happens in this issue.
Score: 3 (out of 5) |
