 Rating:  - Joss is getting predictableAlas, Joss has used his tricks one too many times. Plot "surprises" he has used in everything from "BTVS" (TV) to "Serenity" to "Dr. Horrible" (which rocked regardless) appear here. His repeated attempts to invoke pathos are getting as old as the Vaudeville pie-in-the-face bit. Joss, steal or invent some new twists before you write any more eps of "Dollhouse."

That's not to say the run up 'til then lacked for action, good characterization and a couple of nice twists, but nothing really drew me into the story until I read this last installment, Whedon & Cassidy's last six issue arc, which turned out to be an exciting, even memorable, wind-up of the plot threads in the previous three story arcs.

Rating: - Nearly Flawless Conclusion to a Redefining (albeit uneven) RunIf someone told me a couple of years ago that a X-Men comic would move me to tears, I'd pat them on the shoulder and tell them to lay off the booze. Well, either Joss Whedon is one of the best writers in the field or I'm more sensitive than I thought, because with "Unstoppable," Whedon finishes his redefining run on this title with an epic, action packed, character driven, emotional roller coaster that made me tear up on more than one occasion. From Buffy The Vampire Slayer, to Firefly, ... Read More Rating: - BreathtakingGreat series! Fantastic writing. Great art. A pleasure to read. Left me wanting more ;) |
