Review: This issue picks right where the last left off with Mystique fending off an attack from the US Armed Forces, and Shortpack in the clutches of The Quiet Man. This issue is largely a fight scene between Mystique and a couple of helicopter's worth of soldiers. The remainder of the issue is spent on setting up next issue.
The fight scene, for the most part, showcases Mysique's powers. There are some inventive uses of her powers, which is nothing new for this title, although some of the things she does are borderline unbelievable, even in a comic. But for the most part the scenes are pretty darn cool looking.
This issue is pretty good, but so far it;s the weakest chapter of the storyline. While the story is solid, it doesn't have the excitement in it that previous issues have had. While it's not a bad issue, the other issues are just better. There are some interesting character bits in here. There is some more interaction between Quiet Man and Shepard, and we get to see that Raven really cares about Shortpack. The characterization is great here, but I think the fact that there aren't any revelations in this chapter is what makes it a weak chapter for me.
The art by Garcia is great. There are some panels in the fight scene where it is a little confusing, but for the most part, the art kicks ***! I can't say enough about this art team. The colors and inks help make Garcia's art shine, and Fernandez and Rainbow Digital deserve their dues. Great job, guys.
The cliffhanger at the end of the issue was great. It really makes me want to read next issue.
