| Pro Review: | By Peter Silvestro
Review: Now here’s something you don’t see every month: a story complete in a single issue. The trend over the last decade in comics has been to stretch every story to fill four-to-six issues, so it’s refreshing to have a tale that begins and ends in the same reading. The bad news is that they replaced the writer and kept the art team. Porter and Thibert’s renderings of Doc Savage and his aides are still bizarre, sad to say. The story is passable but it’s clearly a last minute filler: it doesn’t match the cover and the blurb in the DC catalog both of which promise a tale centering on the Crime College. The Justice, Inc. tale is okay but ends on a less impressive note than the buildup has suggested.
Score: 3 (out of 5) |
