I have tried to jump on board with this comic a bunch of times just cause a lot of people tell me how much better Bendis's street level comics are and since this book is mainly about cops and detectives trying to take down super villains i figured this would be a natural and with the new series afoot i figured it would be a good place to start.
Apparently i thought wrong since i am mostly confused and mostly irritated with this comic.
A lot of it has to do with the art by Micheal Avon Oeming which is similar in style to Amanda Conner and other slight retro cartoon like artists while Amanda is a good story teller and great at facial expressions Mr.Oeming doesn't seem to have any of those skills and frankly this style does not work on a gritty comic like this anywyas.
a lot of the story makes absolutely no sense to me at all and a lot of it feels rushed which is ironic considering how long it's been since the last issue came out and also there's some confusing things like i'm not sure what a "powers virus" is and what it does.
Frankly there's a lot of mistakes and plot holes in this like when officer Sunrise says "stop or i'll shoot" even tho she is already shooting.
I'm also curious how the two officers wound up in bed together first they check out a murder and then we get some weird random flashback that parodies the rat pack for no real reason and the next thing the two officers hop in bed together even tho they weren't even getting along before.
Maybe this will all make sense to someone who has read the previous issues but i'm completely left out in the cold and the obvious rushed mistakes and the crappy art doesn't make me wanna stick around and figure things out.
Honestly this feels like an inferior version of Criminal by Ed Brubaker and i would stick with that one unless your a hardcore Bendis fan or a big fan of this series.
