Wow! What a wait...
Who knew there would be a 7 month gap between issues 3 and 4 of this series? Well, I certainly didn't. Was it worth the wait? Well, kind of. A neat story and great, great Adams art (that was the hold-up I think, while he and his wife looked after their baby) make for a neat comic. The series is starting to take shape - I think it's too bad that there had to be such a dreadful setup story as Ultimatum to give us this new world order, but there you are. But Jeph Loeb is taking the opportunity now to show us a clean slate world with familiar characters put into totally new situations. I like it - hopefully there won't be too much time to wait until the next issue! I don't think it's too much of a spoiler to say that here we learn about Ultimate Firestar and her back story. And thank goodness for her she wears flame-retardant underwear! Very good.
