Collapser #3

In answering a great deal of questions, and further refining the conflict,Collapser (2019-) #3 sends readers deeper down the cosmic rabbit hole. Read Full Review

Collapser #3 closes one door for Liam James, and opens the door to a new world of opportunity for the nursing home employee now turned superhero/DJ. In the case of Liam, with great power comes great fame. The only question is what kind of dangers he will open himself up to with a target on his back bigger than the hole in his chest. Issue #3 out of 6 was the best time to flesh out this world, explain the black hole, and set us up for what comes next. Read Full Review

Even though I found some small problems with Collapser #3, it is an excellent issue in a stellar series and I cannot get enough of it. Read Full Review

Artist Ilias Kyriazis is amazing and will have a hell of a career from this. Mark my words. We are halfway through the series and I'm still looking forward to more. Read Full Review

Collapser is one of the most bizarre comics in DC's stable at this moment. Collapser #3 pulls it back from the metaphysical elements of the second issue and becomes more of a straight-forward superhero tale " albeit a surreal one with a hero that's still not the most likable. Read Full Review

Almost smack dab in the middle, Collapser #3 is a story with two halves, but Ilias Kyriazis' art pushes it over the halfway mark on the rating.

Wow, so the black hole is actually a sentient being! Didn't think it would happen but it's cool, science meets weird kinda cool and the art is trippy and literally stellar to boot. The personified Black Hole tells Liam the story of Leon James - his father, a mad scientist who exploited his followers and established dictatorship, and Jennifer James - his mother who happened to have helped so many people by doing what was right even when it meant to betray her husband and leave her only child behind in safe hands, it was interesting and quite poignant. Again, didn't expect this little black hole to have been so closely associated with Liam's father and mother to begin with. I thought the villain was underutilised even though his backstory is solid. The second part of the comic was good, I mean that's what any amateur would do with their newfound powers when all they had before this was misery. The end was intriguing, sets the mood up for the next issue. more
