4.0 out of 5 stars Good But Missing Something, April 29, 2006

This review is from: Tom Strong (Book 5) (Hardcover)

This latest collection of Millennium City's greatest hero may be fun but it is missing something that the previous collections had. Each of the five issues collected within contain only a single story each. While the stories do manage to be fine adventure comics on their own, they do not have the cleverness of the earlier stories. It may be because the name Alan Moore is missing from the cover. But whatever the reason, while it is good reading, it could be about any hero and comic world.

In this volume, Tom Strong must discover what is behind the sudden failure of flight. Then imaginary dimensions begin to plague the city. In the third Issue Pneuman must reconcile his role with a promise made long ago. Next Tom tackles an old foe's partner. Finally Tom must face the dull reality that is his real life. In the end the reader has been entertained but not to the degree as with the earlier adventures. I hope that this will not be a continuing trend with the series.
