Only reviewing the Beast Solo Story here.
The Problematic:
Nothing really to report other than WASPy vibes
The Bad:
Felt like the writers were really struggling with the direction they wanted to take the character in. At first, Beast was grey, amnesiac and feral, but slowly he got his old personality back for no explained reason. Also, the whole love interest angle was really weak. The art wasn’t anything to write home about, and the individual plots of each issue were pretty meh as well.
The Good:
Pacing was decent. Having some of Beast’s old villains show up was cool.
Overall:
Pretty weak installment here. Don’t do my boy Hank dirty—he should always be a lovable smart boy no matter how hairy he gets
