Dark Horse, $2.95
Short Review: Oh, dear.
I really should stop expecting better things of Frank Miller. Great story, I thought. Paranoid fantasy, our heroine fooled into fighting a corrupt government by a corrupt revolutionary faction. All that's waiting is the twist at the finish. And so this issue arrives and... everything is as it seems. The rebels are both technologically and morally better than the government, whose vast array of forces are useless due to incompetence and bad morale. And when I say technologically better, I'm talking flying saucers, invisibility, and entropy rays. This they have because they're better. And so the series ends, with the kind of language that seized hold of my spinal column in The Dark Knight Returns, but empty of power here. The good guys win. Because they're good. It's as simple as that. The art is still as gorgeous as always, though.
