Re-Reading: Solar #57

[xoken]

I thought we could do a book a day (that way people can read one every day or catch up on weekends), talk about it on its own, in the context of whats next, in regards to what expectations it creates and vote on how good it is. I don't have to be the one that posts everyday. If I miss a day or if someone wants to take over please do

For voting think of your single favourite comic book (not just VALIANT) as the benchmark - thats a 10 - and grade according to that.

Make sure to mention what you like'd about the book, what you didn't, what you wish they would have done, your favourite panels, lines of dialogue, little bits of trivia etc.

Silly to pitch the Armorines against a god. They did well though. What they did not well, was to look well. Oh my. This rendation of the Armorines is a pure insult to Jim Calafiore's mean lean fighting machines.

We've previously seen how the government reacted to Aric, now we see how they react to Solar. I like this better. Not enough to save the issue though. John's treason feels weird. As does Solar's ongoing fascination with the insides of computers. Good enough story, with intelligence and potential, but too little, too late. And the art drags it down.

Yeah, I didn't care for the ridiculous look of the Armorines in this one either. At least the story is not as bad as previous issues have been though.
