By far the weakest Ram V effort I’ve read, but where it fails is it’s onboarding of a new hero. To say it teases out what makes the character interesting is an understatement; the information design is simply lacklustre and poor. After the entire volume there’s maybe three tiny snippets of why he was chosen to be the next avatar, or his past at all. And what is there is too similar to the previous run, when it needed a whole completely new reboot imo. The previous character had some incredible runs. A new character should have been what it needed.

What did cross over well was the panelling and art, which remains more engaging by far and away than most super hero books. But that’s not enough to get me to pick up the next volume. I just never connected with any of the characters, with twinges of interest quickly flaming out when it got bogged down in things already seen, but better.
