Homestly, I started the series a while back..... quickly stopped it.

I like part of the concept, the Hard Corps leave Earth (Rai #0, I like this part) but they become.....

The Doodlebops? Strange, and not in a good way.

I read Psi-Lords a while back and didn't hate the series.

It's going to be difficult for me to remember what happened in which issue, but the progression from HARD Corps to the Psi-Lords felt very logical.

I'm with Bedard on this series. The colors were dreadful.

Like Elveen said, a basically good concept, terribly over-worked.

See beside that, and the series is a good enough read. Bedard is a solid story-teller and plants the book well in the universe.

This issue however is just telling us everything about the Psi-lords. And a few pages setting up something real for the next issue, with a "to be continued"-feeling.

The art is rather neutral.

As all Valiant Vision books, the coloring suffer.

The concept, art and coloring together help give an unfortunate cartoony feeling.

As the issue is rather neutral, I'll give a neutral vote. 3/5.

Pretty much everything has been said. The issue is like if the 70's show was a comic, and they sang the theme song for all 30 minutes.

2/5 :roll:

:lol: :lol: Nice. Sad to say but the Doodlebops might be an improvement. Definitely an interesting concept gone all wrong.
