james_desantis 's review for:
If ever wanted to learn about quicksilver this is a perfect book to pick up.
So in the events of No Surrender our speedster here tries to stop the bad guys, grabs a orb (or something like it, I can't remember the No Surrender event much) and gets trapped in a still like world. One with everyone kind of frozen in time except for Quicksilver here. So he basically runs around the world giving his life story while facing off against these energy looking creatures that are haunting him. As the story progresses it fills you in on who the character is and what he does throughout his life up until this point.
Good: The art is actually pretty cool. Usually bland colors mixed with vibrant really works well. Almost like colors splashed onto a blank canvas. I also thought the mindset of Quicksilver was great and really helped build a bond with him more so than most comics. The message here, a little honky, will probably hit home for a lot of people though.
Bad: I thought the themes were a little on the nose. Also, if you've been following quicksilver through the years, this is basically his Wikipedia page dropped right into a comic. It's done well, but it's still that.
Overall, enjoyable surprise. This is better than the event it's made by. Quickersilver is a pretty complex character but Saladin was able to push it further, hitting on a theme a lot of people face in every day life. Gotta keep moving forward and stop blaming others. I dig that. A 3.5 out of 5.
