Vibe #2 Review |
I often comment that first issues are difficult affairs. You never know how they represent what is to come. Well this month we get the 2nd issue of Vibe, and if this is how the series is going to go, sign me up. Issue 2 revolves around Vibe figuring out how he's going to fit into his role as a super hero and member of the JLA. We get an amusing moment early on in the book in which he stops his first "crime." We get some great scenes of his brother keeping him grounded (important considering we're talking about a kid who just got some serious powers). We get his perspective of a big scene from this month's JLA. It's just good writing. The real selling point comes towards the end though. After being brought in to help track an alien, we get to see some of the shadier aspect of ARGUS that I've been coming to expect. In particular is a return to ARGUS's "zoo" of metahumans where some down-right evil stuff is going on. I love it. It makes me appreciate just how complex JLA and Vibe are going to be.
The conclusion hints at Vibe going after Kid Flash, which should make for a nice tie-in. Hopefully the book can stay as strong as it's started (and let's face it, it's Geoff Johns. It'll be solid.).
