Comments: A father turns his son into the authorities, why? The son is just hanging out with his girlfriend. She does look wondrous floating in the air with energy around her. The father is shown caring about his son and his other children his actions though lead to the opposite happening.
Than we shift to a woman who is very uncouth. You can tell her job is to hunt people with powers and kill them. She is someone you will take an immediate dislike to. The art showing her fits her character perfectly. This woman you will love hating her. She is just someone you will want to see hurt.
More of an explanation as to what is going on and why it is is needed. Not everything has to be revealed at once but a little bit to drew you in and get you interested and thinking. There is no background given on why people are hunted and killed who have powers. This world of 2030 has zero explained about it here.
The killer, hunter woman does draw your attention. She is what will bring you back.

Comments: Anti-New-Men Agents are the super powered people here.
The woman in the Beast t-shirt is intense in action. She is drawn tough. It is confusing whether her name is Shade or Faith.
This woman does hunt down and kill people with super powers and she is very good at her job. Finally her name is Shade and she is hunting Faith a female teen with energy absorbing powers. The art is so intense especially when it is showing powers being used or action happening.
For Shade things heat up even more after her quick battle with Faith. We get a brief look at five more people with powers.
Mark is one man you will want to know more about and the woman Shade to. How and why did she get where she is today?
This issue does need to explain a few more things even though you can figure out some of what is going on. The action is hard hitting and violent. Shade is one woman you do not want after you.

Comments: Richie is like an angel. He does fly high and then he does not. Things do get grisly for this Anti-New-Men Agent. He does not deserve to be attacked just for what he is. The art does show him off nicely.
Some of the New Men can be a serious threat.
There are many characters with a lot happening but no explanation as to why or what is going on. Things jump around in time to as we look back but what is the reason for it. There is a whole other storyline going on here. It is a good one but again it needs to be tied into the current storyline.
The action scenes of fighting are well drawn and they are the best part of this issue.
The story is all over the place and other than having people with powers it does not tie in with the other issues. This series has so much potential it just needs to focus. Randmly showing people using powers in different situations is not enough it needs to be weaven into the story. Tell us about the characters, who they are and why we should care about them. The brief bit of information is just enough to let the reader know yes this could be great.

Comments: Shade is illustrated in a gorgeous pin-up. She is athletic, hot, sexy and dangerous with a cute side all rolled into one woman.
We skip to a man who has just become a New Men he thinks he is all right. He is just a normal guy with normal type problems who now has super powers.
Shade meanwhile is under attack by super powered people. Shade though moves smoothly and conviction she is a professional. The art really showcases her skills.
aith has new friends now to help her.
Shade has been attacked on a personal level. The time periods seem to switch but without letting you know most times. Here now Shade is going all out for revenge. You piss her off and you will pay. Making it personal just means you will die. She will not stop for anything. Her personality makes her someone you can hate and love both at the same time.
