Bryan Hitch has spun a fun yarn here, allowing the heroes to acknowledge some stark realities via descriptive observations and extra emotional resonance. Ever if some folks are stepping out of character, it makes a statement about their regular personas and intrigues the reader with a promise of the unexpected.
Merino and Owens do great work, portraying traditional characters conveying unconventional emotions. The panels pop with action on micro and macro scales, always done up with crisp lines, strong shading, and subtle flourishes. This book is very easy on the eyes and a fun read. No-one wants to see the state of affairs portrayed here continue, but it becomes clear that the emotions felt by the principals is an intriguing entry-point to a solid series.
