Summary


Johns gives us the origin story of Ulysses, has Supes embracing his role as a mentor, and introduces the Machinist.



What I Liked


✔Great character development with Ulysses/Neil

✔Cool to see Supes teamed up with someone that's close to being his "equal"

✔Good dialogue, especially between Ulysses and his parents

✔Pretty good action


What I Didn’t Like


✘Romita's facial expressions and hands looked very strange

✘Machinist seems a bit weak and one-dimensional, but it's too early to make final judgment on his character

✘Cliffhanger seemed inevitable and a bit predictable--this is something that most fans would probably see coming


Themes


  • The need for positive role models and mentorship

  • With great power, comes great responsibility


Score


8/10
