james_desantis 's review for:
Reborn
by Mark Millar
Is it strange that I found this too safe for a Millar book? Like I expected a lot more twist and turns but this was just a gigantic safe fairy tale with some bloody moments.
So what happens when you die? Depending on if you're religious you might think you're going to heaven, or hell, or some crazy fairy tale place with demons and dragons. The later sounds pretty cool huh? Well that's what happens with the main character of this series. The first issue starts with her dying in her old age and by the time it ends she is transported to a new magical world with a mission! Find her husband in this afterlife universe after he was killed by a sniper.
Good: The art is really solid. There's some awesome moments especially with the fight scenes. I also thought the father/daughter moments were sometimes good and I liked all the real world stuff a lot actually.
Bad: The fairy tale stuff was so cliche I had to triple check this was written by Mark Millar. No stakes, no losses, no big surprises. It played out like a disney movie. Like a very bloody but safe disney movie. Which could be fine but the characters were all pretty forgettable. I'd say you won't remember anyone's name in this book in about a month or two. Also some cringe worthy moments such as the daughter (main character who I forgot the name her) telling her dad she's happy she got her period. LIke...I got the moment but just came off weird.
Overall it was just really meh. I was never excited reading it. I was expecting some big twist or turn half way through and when nothing came I questioned what the point of this story was. I wanted more and what I got was just okay. A 2/5.
