THE END IS NIGH!
In this issue: Captain Pollution has seized the day, and things are looking deadly for both the Planeteers and the planet itself! Now, the team must come together one last time and find the strength to summon their most powerful ally for a final showdown against the corrupting force of Lucian Plunder!
Longstanding Friends of Gaia DAVID PEPOSE and EMAN CASALLOS turn up the heat in Captain Planet #5 — offset by cooling covers from CHAD HARDIN, CHRISTIAN WARD, BEN OLIVER, and connecting art from JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG!
This issue really highlights the villainous Plunder, while showing our heroes struggling to get it together. David Pepose does an excellent job of building up the threat of the villain in this issue, well milking the emotions for our heroes. The way Pepose makes Captain Pollution seem to be unstoppable; while making our heroes the ultimate underdogs really make the reader feel for them. The emotional tie ins with characters are one of Peposes strongest attributes as a writer, and it really shines in this issue. Read Full Review

Captain Planet may have saved the day, but this comic feels like a missed opportunity. Read Full Review
