Hil's Review: The best ongoing series in comics continues strong with the start of a new four-issue arc. ![]() Ennis is a funny guy and Kev is the perfect vehicle for humorous war stories, but even a good laugh can't keep this issue from feeling like a slight let down from the first. It's not a terrible move, but this talk-heavy issue kills much of the momentum from the premiere issue. Ennis decides to chill out just an issue into A Man Called Kev. Hil's Review: Usually a writer waits until quite a bit has happened in a story before taking a breather. What happened with Animal Man? So, what, we never get to see Bruce Wayne's journey of self-discovery? Is it possible that, despite coming out weekly, this series isn't big enough to actually tell the full story of DC's missing year? ![]() Still, so many other side plots (and untold numbers of characters) are being ignored. The strongest of 52's stories continues to be a prime reason for sticking with this series. The Steel story is intriguing, but pales against what Rucka has done writing the Question. This week focuses on the now true-to-name Steel and the further adventures of Renee Montoya and the Question. I hope it doesn't run out of gas, because so far it's been entertaining. It's been fourteen weeks, which means this series has a long time before it finishes.
