All in Action
Wall and Haberlin set up quite a challenge for themselves.
A fair amount of the issue is dialogue-heavy exposition
On the surface, there REALLY isn’t much to the story.
Without the usual trappings of a Batman story, it’s just...Bruce Wayne.
A fast-paced rush behind enemy lines.
There’s a steady rhythm to the opening issue.
Kelly’s take on Peter’s personality is remarkably cool.
It’s all very familiar.
The conflict between Scarlet Witch and Nightmare’s daughter is cleverly rendered.
Fawkes has some good ideas.
It is so very rare that a superhero script truly seems at least kind of unpredictable.
Raynor draws heavy shadows over everything.
Johns is clearly going for something very, very ambitious.
Phillips is having fun.
Ewing runs through the opening issue with a degree of grace that matches that of his main character.
Taylor has a lot of story to tell in about 50 pages.
It’s not much, but it’s an ending.
It’s never anything other than stylish.
It’s kind of fun to see all of the sidekicks that Johns has created for Golden Age heroes.
Campbell has found an appealing way to make Mary Marvel seem that much cooler than Parker and Beck’s Captain Marvel.
