3.0

Story: Basically broken into three parts. We start off with the aftermath of the defeat of Thanos. The Champions aren't feeling very heroic, Riri is scared now, and Sam lost his power. So no one is doing very good there. Then we roll into a single issue of a school shooting that's actually done very well, and covers our heroes dealing with that. Last but not least the heroes go into the "weirdworld" dimension and are now dressed up like knights and warriors and such.

Art: Still vibrant as ever. I really dug a lot of character designs for this volume because of the old setting of midevil type suits. I also think the emotional moments connected well thanks to the reactions, faces, and body language characters had when the school shooting happened. Art is one thing this series always did well.

Enjoyment: Between the solid art and emotion-fueled school shooting story this volume stands out above the rest. I even really liked the story with them dealing with the Thanos loss and the swamp thing storyline. All that was good. It gave us strong emotional moments, character growth, and new storylines for each person.

What didn't work: I honestly thought the weirdworld story was kind of bleh. I know what it was going for but it didn't really work. Too cheesy at points and kind of dull, with a ending you can see coming from a mile away.

Overall a stronger volume than the last one but not mindblowing. Inbetween good-great at a 3.5 out of 5.
