Icon Vs. Hardware #3

This title has been a very pleasant surprise for how it's skillfully tackled the repercussion of time travel and the inevitability of fighting against the tide. Read Full Review

Icon Vs. Hardware is the ideological showdown weve all been waiting for! While it isnt the knockdown, drag-out affair that people are normally used to where hero fights hero, it still does an excellent job of pitting these two forces against each other in an interesting and fun way. Reginald Hudlin, Leon Chills, Denys Cowan, Darryl Banks, Yasmin Montanez Flores, Chris Sotomayor and AndWorld Design are absolutely killing it with this book so far and we certainly cant wait for more!

It's a very intriguing series, but the frequent art shiftsnow three artists on one issueare distracting and keep the story from feeling as unified as it could be. Still, major points for ambition on this series. Read Full Review

On one level, it kind of seems like Hudlin and Chills are trying to put too many different parallel plots into a single series. It almost feels like the series could have worked better as three different one-shots with three different main characters, and it would have felt a bit less crammed together. Theres more than enough going on between the three central plots to keep it all captivating from cover to cover, but it doesn't seem like the parallel plots in the series fit together all that well.

This time around, the conflict of Icon vs. Hardware slingshots from one extreme to another, and the end result is both entertaining and underwhelming. Read Full Review

There's maybe five too many things happening here and it all feels a bit crowded, but I'm still deeply enjoying Curtis's fucking around/finding out arc enough that I can forgive the pacing problems
