This book is a fairly interesting look at the Crime Syndicate characters from a new perspective. I actually really enjoyed the first issue of this series very much and I enjoyed the take on this. This issue is pretty good as well, and it delves into territory that is pretty dark.
Starro is causing havoc all over the planet.
Yes, that star shaped alien from hell is here and it is not making things easy for anyone. It has taken over both heroes and villains and it is not relenting at all. Things are looking bad.
Ultraman, Superia, and Owlman are the only ones who are left to stop Starro.
But can they?
This issue is very tense as the three of them use their skills and their wits to try and take this alien down for good. But that may prove to be harder than they bargained for.
Andy Schmidt writes a tight script here. It is smart and it keeps you on the edge of your seat. Artist Kieran McKeown does a great job as well. This creative team shows us a certain depth to the team that we haven’t seen before.
The issue also has a backup story written again by Schmidt and with artwork by Bryan Hitch. It is a well drawn and interesting story about Owlman. It shows his origin and has a few interesting facts in it as well.
All in all, this is a solid issue from start to finish!
RATING: B+
