(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.

Gen 13 #36
This issue seemed to have a lot more setup than the last, which is ironic since we ended on a cliffhanger. The thing is the first 5 pages help introduce a new villain (or old? Still trying get clarification on that one). Don’t get me wrong, it’s an interesting set-up for sure but it just made the rest of the issue feel short. And I don’t like when a bi-monthly book feels short.

The Authority #23
“Mondregon” (No Spoilers)
The Authority…in space! That’s what I’m enjoying the most about this title. With access to The Bleed, The Authority are no strangers to dealing with other-worldly creatures. But with the current arc, it gives the new setting of outer space to do this.
I’m a big sci-fi fan so as I’ve read this Authority title month after month since The Carrier blasted off into space, I can’t help but have memories of Star Wars, Star Trek, Babylon 5, and Battlestar Galactica dance through my head as I read. Outer space is such a versatile playground for storytelling and it’s utilizing The Authority in ways they’ve never been used before.
