Disappointing. Vita Ayala and Stephanie Williams are working with too big a cast, and the book's three artists don't do enough to distinguish them all visually. It has to step back constantly to tell us what things are and why they're important (What is the Contest? What is Doom's Doorway?), constantly breaking the flow of the book, and the action sequences have no sense of movement or kineticism. I like Nubia and making her Queen was a smart idea but this book does not really work as it is.
