The story is fun and quick if you're a fan of the original material but I have to say the art is a big meh. I was hoping they'd go for a style more similar to that of the cover (I have the illumicrate version) but instead it looks like a generic marvel comic with out of whack anatomy and everyone looking 45 and older.
The introduction of new powers is cool though.

In this world death is not the end; individuals known as EO's gain superpowers after dying and coming back to life. We follow Charlotte as she grapples with her newfound powers and its repercussions.
I really enjoyed this! I haven't read either of the main books in the Villains series but this got me up to speed nicely and it didn't impact my enjoyment. I loved our protagonist Charlotte, she was really well developed. The art style wasn't my favourite, however it did grow on me the more I read.
As an extra note the bonus short story Warm Up was fantastic!
