Customer Review #1:
 Pretty good almost to the end
For some reason i remember this comic getting really knocked, but im looking again at the reviews (only 4?) and theyre uniformly good. Huh, maybe my memory is slipping.im not going to describe the book because its the second half of the Power duo. Read the first, see the cliffhanger, read this story which starts 10 years later. i thought i heard reviews claiming this book wasnt as good as the first one. i suppose thats true, although this is one really good book. i also remember reading that people thought this was kind of cliche comic book stuff, and it really isnt. Its still in the Moore/Miller adult theme where the characters have insecurities and make mistakes and all that. Its good stuff. My one complaint is this - the book completely wimps out in the end. And by end i mean the very, very end. All this build up about complex politics and factions and ideas and conspiracies and in the very end we find out who the real villan is and its... lame. Really lame. Standard comic book villan stuff. Nothing interesting or realistic or insightful or novel. That was a let down. But im still glad i spent the money to read this whole series

 Even More Fantasic
With J. Michael Stracynski you know youre going to get something good, and he doesnt let you down. The story is fantasic, and the artwork is really good. I dont read as many comics as I used to when I was younger, but after Babylon 5, Ive been looking for other things JMS has done. This was amazing, highly recommended - story telling at its best. I can hardly wait for the third (and apparently final) volume.

Good Stuff
Great characters and fantastic writing. My only little beef is that a new artist took over the last few chapters. While not as good as the original, still solid. I really enjoy consistency with artwork, which is a rarity for any comic these days...
