About Heroes

Author: David Hine
Art: Frazer Irving
Letters: Joe Caramanga

I'll be the first to tell you that I have not enjoy a single thing that David Hine has written. Granted, I've only read all his Marvel works, never really tried out his Spawn. But, if his Marvel work really gave me a glimpse of what his Spawn work is like, than no thank you.

This series is a follow up to last year's Son of M, which was a follow up to House of M. Quicksilver stole the Terrigan Crystals to get his powers back and now the Inhumans want their crystals back. Gorgon and three other Inhumans take over a theater and kill the audience. Keep in mind all this happens pre-Civil War so the Fantastic Four show up and fight the Inhumans. The best part of the issue is Medusa telling Black Bolt never to snap his fingers at her again.....damn Bolt, now we know who wears the pants in that relationship. The strong point in this series is going to be the political aspect and if you've read my reviews or heard our podcast you know how I feel about that. Politics and comics should never be in the same sentence. It's why I read comics to escape from reality.

I'm not down with the art, there are some good panels, but for the most part is really dark and too computer animated for me. I don't know there just seems to be alot of cut and paste in this art, reminds me of something I would find in a Heavy Metal magazine. A war between nations has started and human scientist have some Inhumans they can experiment on! Not a winning combination for this reader. I’ll read the trade for the sake of seeing what happens to some of the moon’s inhabitants, but I’m not looking forward to reading it issue by issue. C-
