The conclusion of the new EGOs team origin arc, this issue manages to come up short. The story feels rushed and the dialog's flat. The team's defeat of, arguably, one of the most dangerous villains in the universe is rather blah. It's not terrible, just not up to par with the previous two issues. I'm gonna keep reading EGOs, but not for long if there are more issues like this...
Ghost is picking up a little with the 2nd issue. The White City Butcher and Elisa's deal with the demon Beleth are making things get interesting. Even so, Ghost is just an ok book. Not bad, but nothing fantastic. If you're not into comics revolving around the paranormal, this probably isn't the thing for you.
Everything about the Returning is a near miss. The premise behind the book, the writing, the art; it's all just a little underwhelming. Like, if one of them was great, or two were just OK, I'd probably be on board. A pass on this one.
Not having read the earlier Stray Bullets run, I can't give a comparison, but it's anything like Stray Bullets: Killers, I'll have to scope it out. Mixing suburban family dysfunction and the gritty criminal underworld, the tale had me hooked right away. The art's pretty solid, though some of the facial features appear a little jangly. Not a biggie. Anyhow, you should be reading this.
