“Punch Drunk”
I am truly shocked but I actually thought this issue was okay. Last issue really frustrated me to no end and I dreaded picking this one up. But there were several factors that were different about this issue that I think slightly improved it from the last one.
First off, we get J.J. Kirby as the artist this time. I didn’t think David Williams and Kelsey Shannon’s art from last issue was horrible at all. In fact I stated in my review for that issue that I thought it was perfect especially with some of the facial expression they did. But I think Kirby’s art suited the story just that much more. I remember first seeing J.J. Kirby’s work in the Backlash series.

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.
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.
