Leaving Megalopolis
by Dave Sharpe, Gail Simone, Jim Calafiore, Jason Wright
4.5 stars.
I adored this! There were only some bits I wasn't too crazy about but, for the most part, I loved this! I sincerely wish they'd put together a live action adaptation because it is a really cool concept. Sure, both DC and Marvel have dabbled with "What if superheroes were evil?" but they never did it with quite the same level of having the supers attack the humans.
This series did a great job at glossing over the explanation as to why the heroes turned on the public. We don't need a huge drawn out reasoning, this book is more about the normal people trying to survive. I adored Mina as a character! This is why I adore Gail's books: she knows how to write complex, well written female characters. Mina has layers; she's not just a good guy or the jaded woman with a dark past. We get enough explanations as to why she behaves the way she does.
I liked the bits we saw of the other crew members, as well. I love the art and the climax was really well done. The short little one shot at the end was interesting. Especially the hints at the relationship between Scout and Tomahawk? That was unexpected.
So, all in all, definitely a recommend for me.
