Better and better. Only a bit of the leftist agenda seeping through what has become an increasingly complex and satisfying super hero story. The reveal of who Supernova actually is works well and fits, without being obvious. The disparate threads that seemed like they were not connected are raveling (if you can unravel, you can ravel, righ?). This story feels like the TV show HEROES, but even better because the characters express their powers all the time, not just their feelings, the special effects are better, and, well, it is a comic book, not a TV show, and comic books are the best medium ever. Except for the political slop, this is shaping up to be one of my favorite super hero stories, ever. At this point, only WATCHMEN is clearly better. This story feels like WATCHMEN merged with SECRET WARS merged with CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS. Good stuff. Without the rampant simple-minded leftism here and there, this is great stuff.
