Dv8: Gods and Monsters #3
“Chemical Chords” (No Spoilers)
This was a much more subdued issue than the previous two. It is ironically fitting considering what Powerhaus is doing in this issue.
This issue felt like set-up for something bigger later on. Based on the end of the issue, I doubt one of the characters here is done in this story like they say they are. So far, each of the issue covers have given us a heads-up of which Dv8 character we’re going to focus on: issue one focused on Copycat, issue two on Bliss, and here we focus on Powerhaus. It’s a nice story structure because each of the kids gets their time in the spotlight.
A god Somewhere
(SPOILERS, this one was too hard to write without them) I went back and forth whether or not to pick this up when I first saw it announced. The only exposure I ever had to writer John Arcudi was his run on Gen 13 Volume 1, and I just thought it was ok. The premise was intriguing but it wasn’t something I hadn’t read in other forms before. All of this coupled with the fact it was an original graphic novel with a $24.99 cover price, made me very hesitant to invest in it. I’m happy to say it was well worth the risk.
