5.0 out of 5 stars
rough around the edges, but in a good way, June 22, 2005
This review is from: Outsiders: Sum of All Evil (Vol. 2) (Paperback)
I enjoyed this book even more than "Outsiders: Looking for Trouble (Vol. 1)." This is "edgier," and it's loaded with thrills and humor. It's definitely not for young kids, it's at least a PG-13 book.
Judd Winick's writing continues to surprise me. I keep thinking he's going to run out of gas, but no, he keeps the reader hooked with great storytelling. He isn't afraid to take chances with these beloved DC characters, he doesn't handle them with kid gloves like other writers have.
The Metamorpho storyline is intriguing, the return of Black Lightning has a great nostalgia factor, and the presence of Huntress is always a plus. My one complaint is that Winick's depiction of Nightwing is pretty flat, he could be a great leading character, but he just isn't. The supporting characters save the day here.
"Outsiders: Sum of all Evil (Vol. 2)" is a great read for any comic fan over the age of 13. Be sure to check out Vol. 1 first!

3.0 out of 5 stars
Graphic SF Reader, September 3, 2007
This review is from: Outsiders: Sum of All Evil (Vol. 2) (Paperback)
A lot of the entertainment here is in the character interaction, with Black Lightning showing up, and the Huntress giving Nightwing a whole pile of crud, in a truth hurts you still want me mode.
A suitably evil bad guy in Sabbac and those pulling his strings make it reasonably entertaining, but you don't need to go out of your way to get it.

2.0 out of 5 stars
B-A-D, October 17, 2005
This review is from: Outsiders: Sum of All Evil (Vol. 2) (Paperback)
I hate that I wasted hard-earned money on this one. The first volume is pretty entertaining, and out of boredom alone I purchased vol. 2 out of town.
Ouchies.
This book is bad. There will be moments that you might enjoy, but overall you'll kick your own ass for buying this, and then kick again for reading it.
