Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt #3

A beautifully brilliant blockbuster of a book that calls to mind the works of Alan Moore and Frank Miller!  Read Full Review

Peter Cannon continues to be one of the smartest books being published. This is a creative team on fire, making ambitious comics that you'd only dream of seeing. Read Full Review

This series is operating on such a high level, taking on ideas like how a fictional universe exerts itself over the characters that crossover into it, that's it's hard to guess where it's headed next, and that is absolutely thrilling for the reader because it has already been an incredible ride.

There’s even a moment that plays to this reviewer as a reference to Jonathan Hickman’s work with the Avengers, and as with all these references, Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt balances a deep respect for these iconic tales and what came before with a story that’s directly about the breaking of rules. Though even with these grander allusions at play, it never forgets the humanity at its core, brief moments of mourning and melancholy; what our protagonist version of Cannon doesn’t say to this other dimension’s version of Tabu. Instances like this make the characters more than just mouthpieces, and it’s a miracle that Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt packs as many ideas as it does into 20 pages and still has space for beats like this.

"Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt" begins as an all too familiar story, but winds up becoming a wholly unique superhero adventure. Read Full Review

I haven't grown terribly attached to these characters but I still felt for them. Especially because the art team depicts a truly brutal sequence. There's no mercy for any of them and sad as their end is, it all makes me more intrigued by the villain of the series. Read Full Review

Wijngaard's art continues to be amazing throughout as we get to see a little more in terms of action this issue. He does a magnificent job within the confines of the 9-panel grid throughout. The last sequence is probably my favourite so far as well. Read Full Review
