  First off I have to give the art full marks for its work on the opening pages of this issue, as it perfectly capture the sheer chaos of the battle, and how can one not love how quickly the battle switches from a fairly harmless looking high speed chase into a overblown display of power, that has cars flying around like tinker toys. I also enjoyed the little touches that the art offers up from the amusing cover blurbs of the magazines that Retro Girl smashes into, to the fact that the interviewer on the news program is afforded one facial expression to sell his righteous indignation of the return of the Powers. The opening shot of the murder victim was also a powerful little visual to start off the investigation, and while it's a little detail, I rather enjoyed the coffee stain design element that we see of the info sheet for the murder victim. I wasn't quite sold on the cover image though, as it struck me as a little flat. Read Full Review
