5.0 out of 5 stars Freedom Fighting Fun!!!, November 12, 2008

This review is from: Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters: Brave New World (Paperback)

The Uncle Sam and the FF fighters second mini series is collected and picks right up with action and tense situations that the first series delievered on. Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray deliver a fun tale of conflict as Red Bee struggles not just with her place on the team but her place in the world. Old and new characters make an appearance so it isn't one to miss. Daniel Acuna isn't back on this series, and that was slightly disappointing but the Rento delievers solid art and does the story justice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well, I liked it, May 23, 2009

This review is from: Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters: Brave New World (Paperback)

If you read and enjoyed Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters then you'll love this.

It's an eight part story that goes a little more in depth about the Freedom Fighters lives both on and off the job. At times the realistic and human characteristics of Phantom Lady, and Doll Man reminded me a little of Alan Moore's character deconstruction in Watchmen.

One complaint might be that the "main" story starts and ends in the last three chapters.

All in all, lots of fun to read.

This review is from: Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters: Brave New World (Paperback)

"Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters: Brave New World" is an interesting comic looking at the dissolution of a superhero team and how the various characters react to the pressures of being on center stage. It's not a bad book and there are some interesting characters here who were seen in the truly dreadful "Battle for Bludhaven" and the under-appreciated first volume of "Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters." Having said that, the book seemed to drift a bit in terms of tone (lighthearted one moment and then very somber the next). The art was nothing memorable though it was not as bad as some reviews would have it. There is enough potential here to welcome DC giving the team their own series but something is missing. Some of the characters serve as mere background and subplots about aliens and government conspiracies really do not propel the book along. While this work is supposed to be about the self-destruction of a number of heroes, a good deal of it seems forced and not particularly gripping. While not spectacular, the book was interesting if not exactly spectacular.
