BONUS REVIEW by JOHN ROBINSON
Ed Brubaker's one of my favorite writers.
Steve Epting never fails to impress me, even with his art style leaning less towards Buscema nowadays and more towards Butch Guice.
Chris Elipoulos letters blend perfectly as always.
Plot line is fine, I only feel it suffers from the same problem that most comics stories that are told in the past have...
We know the eventual outcome and the ride to get there isn't terribly exciting, in fact it's a bit slow paced. I really want to love this comic,
and I'm trying, but there's no 'wow factor' here. It's okay, and really better than average - but I can't say I'm dying to read
the next issue.
