james_desantis 's review for:
Heroes in Crisis #3
by Tom King, Clay Mann
I feel most people would like Tom King's story completed or least in arcs. Why? Because each issue to his stories is just a chapter in a book, and while they can be great, they might feel like it's taking too long to get to the good parts. For me though, as I read most stories when completely done, I'm really enjoying my monthly dose of Heroes in Crisis. This issue shoots the series back up to greatness after a just "Decent" second issue.
This one gives a much larger look into the mindset of three characters. It's mostly focused on Wally West, Booster Gold, and Lagoon. Each dealing with their past and the troubles they've went through. Going through their worst memories and trying their best to face them. Wally's about his kids and wife, and even his aunt. Lagoon about his almost death. Booster about his own self need to be a hero and causing more problems than fixing.
Good: I've said this every issue review but the art is damn amazing. I also REALLY enjoyed King addressing the loss for Wally. As someone who really loves this character and feel like they just ignored the fact his whole life, most of his friends, and FAMILY, was taken from here and only now dealing with it was a long time coming and also heartbreaking. Lagoon's is also a nice touch to make me care about a character I've never really knew. Watching him die is both sad and well done. The results of the murder and finding out who the killer is (maybe?) was brutal and hard to watch.
Bad: Booster Gold's story, while interesting that he is fighting with himself, the rest was just okay. I just don't care about Booster all that much.
Overall this is an important chapter. Especially for me, who loved the hell out of Wally and wished he was still The Flash. I can't wait to see what comes of this series but like most of King's work, I think I'll end up loving it. A 4 out of 5.
