This story had a decent ending to it. Although it was very predictable. The only thing, really, that might've come out of it is, there may be a way for Alan to bring Jennie back, with the Starheart. The question is should he? Would that make him feel like he was trying to be a god? Of course it turns out the the Jennie manifestation was at the expense of the young girl from the crowd. It was her life essence that allowed Jennie to exist. So we knew it was going to come down to, Alan having to choose between his own happiness or that of the young girl. And of course he's going to make the right choice. That's what he does for a living. I didn't really agree with the move where Alan separated Jennie from Savage by putting her in a bubble and moving her away. Especially since the energy that was holding her was the very same stuff that she was made of. It didn't seem . . . feasible. Also it seems like Vandal was taken down just a little to easily. Especially with Alan not being at full power. Yes, I'm sure, the anguish of his daughter strengthened his resolve a bit. But still . . . . it's a bit far-fetched. And why, in the first place, did a major leaguer like Savage have to be the one to come after Alan. It really could've been anyone. Would've been the same story, and the same outcome. Vandal just seemed kind of . . . . diminished . . . in his role here. The basis of the whole story seemed tenuous at best. But . . . these are comics . . . right? Stir in some talent . . a great character . . and a lot of imagination . . . and wa-lah!! Really it was ok . . overall. It's just not a book that'll hold up under scrutiny. But I liked it. Seriously!
