What do you get when you take a band of hooligans and plop them into Vegas? All kinds of greatness. First and foremost I need to express just how much I am coming to love Shatterstar. He's a great character and I find that as more and more characters join the story, he remains consistently fun and energetic. The writing in this issue is smart. Peter David clearly knows the characters very well and is able to create the perfect situations for each individual. The gang is in Vegas this week and who could be surprised that Guido ends up in a strip joint, Shatterstar ends up fighting some pirate actors, and Longshot ends up using his powers for gambling. Character development aside, the direction that this series has been headed looks and seems great. The Rictor-Rahne baby drama took a backseat this week to the developing Hela story, and the issue is better off for it.

ReplyDeleteShatterstar is all kinds of hilarious and awesome! I love the writing and the art, it's lovely. And Rahne needs to die. That's all I have to say about that.
