This series is quickly drawing to it's conclusion. Well . . not exactly the series, but . . this first chapter which ends with issue #7. But then the new chapter starts with #8 in the fall, so I don't think there's going to be that much of a hiatus between them. This book amazes me because of all the detail that Jim Krueger and Alex Ross have put in to this story. They've really planned this all out, to the most minute detail, and it's coming across in the fantastic drama that's been unfolding since issue #1. We meet some more heroes this issue . . the Arrow and the Target . . but we also find out that being trapped in the urn for so long has done something to some of these peoples powers. Plus, I think, we're going to see that they're just a little bit mental after enduring such a unique, and long, ordeal. How could they not be? Also the Dynamic Family has turned to return of all of these heroes to their advantage. They're trying to convince the world that they're simply a new form of terrorist and that only the Dynamic Family has the capabilities to counter their measures. There's really a lot going on here. I also have to take my hat off to Carlos Paul with the incredible artwork that he's turning in for this series. This issue he has some help from Wagner Reis and Marcello Mueller. I'm not sure what their contributions were but there are some truly amazing panels in this book. To tell you the truth, the only reason I even picked up this series in the first place was because of Alex Ross' involvment. I haven't regretted that decision since. This series is the definition of creating a classic.
