JOHNNY RED // A COUPLE OF HEROES
by Garth Ennis (w) Keith Burns (a) Jason Wordie (c) Rob Steen (l)
A time-jump here, and along with some of the technical aspects, this was an entertaining beginning to a new story. I liked how the jump in time was taken care of and it leaves thing open for any future stories. The aspects about the plane were interesting, and I like the commentary on it. There is some good action involving the planes, and not all of it in the air, and the cliffhanger finish was an interesting point to look forward to finding more about.
KIDS RULE OK // THE SEPTIC
by Brian K. Vaughan (w) Chris Burnham (a) Len O'Grady (c) Rob Steen (l)
A classic-feeling bit of anarchy here. I like this new look at the Kids Rule world and those who may come from a different background. There are some excellent twists and fun with the artwork throughout.
