REVIEW by Brian Fisher
Talk about your event tie-in overload. With FC and Secret Invasion piling on the tie-ins this could set a new precedent for overload. That said, though this was pretty good. A couple of the villains responsible for the Martian Manhunter’s death are punished, and cruelly at the hands of the Spectre. But why is Libra out of his reach? And what is the Question, who so recently was in the USA (as of FC #3) doing in England? Philip Tan (who we saw most recently on Spawn) seemed to have tightened up his style considerably, and where once his work was an incoherent mess is now very palatable. Time will tell how this mini-series will turn out but so far it’s off to a good start.
