  I like seeing Brent Anderson get to play with outer space. Its not the first time hes had a chance to do this in the history of Astro City, but after the four-year long Dark Age arc, its really nice to get into some more cosmic stuff again. (There were a few specials in that time that gave us cosmic comics, but I digress.) Alex Ross, as always, supplies the cover, and I think this is one of his best. If youve never read Astro City before, I dont know if this would be the best jump-on point. It stands alone very well, but if you didnt spend the years wondering what the secret of the Silver Agent is, I dont know that it would have the proper impact. But if youve ever been a fan of the series, this issue is a must-read. Read Full Review
