In line with the last issue. Gil's not afraid to use the ol' peashooter.

Character development is a little stilted and the kid seems to be more clever than any of the adults, but pretty good overall. More good historical tie-ins.

An action issue on par with the last issue. And nice use of the normal characters along the way. It gave it a pretty satisfying conclusion at the end. An 8.

One question, how did Gilad know it was Master Darque behind the goons when he saw the invisible Bolo pick up the book?

Why waste time learning, when ignorance is instantaneous?

Decent story, but nothing spectacular. I would give it a 7.

Invisibility is an element? :o

I guess it could be since you wouldn't be able to see it anyway :P

My favourite prologue so far. A classic moment in history and an even more classic moment in cinema :thumb: Gave me goose bumps :D

Hook and Welt are even lamer. I can't believe the guy hisses and the other one has that hair cut. Bad Mark Moretti, Bad!

How does the cop stand just down the hall and not hear the window crash, everybody yelling and screaming and Gilad punch a guy through a door>????!>??

Some cheesy fight and timmy runs away but no one seems to care except the mom.

Bolo is lame.

The doctor is incredible racist.

Its ironic that they make fun of cheesy sci fi movies because this story took maybe the best version of the immortal idea and made it a cheesy sci fi story.

Okay so because she promised to take timmy ice skating he goes to the ice skating ring? Is he an idiot? Does his stripper mom breast feed him milk laced with coke or something?

Okay Gilad killed him, that was awesome. Whats more awesome is that because of that event Dr. Mirage dies and comes back :D

Still the ending is lame, even stashing it in the sphynix. I give this a 6, but barely.

8s? :o This thing only goes up to 10 guys :P
Seriously though for me it was no where near as good as #1 which is at an 8 average

Apart from differing tastes, people will also use the scale differently. Does 5 (or possibly 6) mean "average comic", "average Valiant" or maybe "readable"?

True. I think in movie terms. So a 6 is an average that I didn't feel bad wasting 2 hours on. 7 is one I was happy to see. 8 I will see again and again. 9 is an experience I won't forget. and 10, I'm still waiting for a 10 :D

How about you guys?
