Astonishing Times Issue #3 & #4 Review
Issue #3 of “Astonishing Times” by Frank J. Barbiere, Arris Quinones and Ruaire Coleman finally introduces a Superman like character, the superhero of superheroes. Aptly named Infinity to highlight his invincibility, readers meet the new character when protagonist Noah Sans crash lands into a different planet with Kokin.
While the artwork is colorful and fantastic, the plot doesn’t get exciting, instead it feels familiar and underwhelming. And the cover of issue #4 features a new cool looking superhero, however, she barely makes any sort of impression on the readers.
Since “Astonishing Times” is supposed to be a five issue series, I was hoping for a lot more plot twists in these two issues. There’s the same old “bad guy wants to rule humanity” trope, with a dash of betrayal and misunderstandings. It’s the splashy illustrations that are keeping me invested in this comic book series.
It’s a 3 on 5 from me.
