For information on stopping the spread of COVID-19, and on what to do if you are quarantined, have a look at the World Health Organization site.
After this issue, the series runs another 3, so I will never, likely, know what the final outcome of the story is. I have to say, not a great loss to me. The story itself, about a demon invasion of Earth, is pretty well-played out, and this take on it doesn't bring that much to the story. I'm more interested in the familial drama playing out - I feel like with Razor and Stryke we could have had a really intense look at sisterhood under violent and supernatural circumstances, but instead the focus is on violence and barely-covered women. Male gaze, amirite?
On a more positive note, I've enjoyed Rick Lyon's art - he's not quite as over the top as the early Image artists, and actually reminds me a great deal of Paul Ryan, whose work on Avengers v.2 I'm currently enjoying. A quick look at my database tells me that most of what I have by him is from Avatar Press, who I think are actually a direct descendant of London Night Studios. Oh, but he also contributed to Vixen Wars #1, perhaps one of the worst comics I've ever read.
Back into the Awesome U tomorrow with some of the new stuff I got from Doug Sulipa's Comic World. If you are jonesing for back issue bins to pour through, the Comic World site is the next best thing. Lots of weird and wonderful stuff.
More to follow.
