daybreak's review against another edition
4.0
4.5 stars
Wow that was surprisingly good!
While I was not really sold on the first one, I found this one really entertaining and engaging.
It helped a lot that it is the more interesting characters and plot lines that take center stage here (Gio, Alexis, Paul, Hella, Sovereign, Hunt and Ruth).
I'm really liking this, particularly the characters whom I find really intriguing (especially unstable Hella, psycho Sovereign and mysterious Hunt).
Kinda bummed this only has 4 volumes total but looking forward to the rest!

With Supurbia Vol 3 by Grace Randolph I'm almost up to date with the series and, as I just discovered, three quarters of the way through the current storyline. I've also reviewed Volumes 1 and 2 previously. And, as you may have noticed, I'm alternating reading volumes of Supurbia with novels. Also, technically, I'm not reading these as collected volumes, but as individual issues. It's easier to review them as volumes, however. Probably some minor spoilers below.
What I liked in this issue was the shift in dynamic between Batu and her husband. From Amazonian-style warrior-goddess and feeble human man, they shifted towards woman and man a little bit, after Batu was rescued. It was a brief exchange on the page, but I found it moving and very sad.
The other sad part, I found was Eve — the newest character to the superhero extended family — trying to bond with her husband Robbie at the superhero/weapon/tech stuff expo. Things don't go as she was expecting and I found it a bit distressing on her behalf.
Other than that, there's a lot of action and danger as we've come to expect. Supurbia continues to be a great read that I would recommend to all fans of the superhero genre (be it in comic book form or not). I definitely recommend starting at the start for context. It's not as though it's a long series (yet).
4 / 5 stars
