    Still going strong.

    So I was blown away by the big reveal in the last issue. So much so that part of me was thinking that maybe it was just a trick. Maybe the "origin" of Madame Mirage was just a ruse. Looks like it's still the case. I still need to go back and re-read issues 1 and 2. If you haven't read it yet, what the heck are you waiting for. Read it before you "hear" what the whole story is.

It's just...fun reading about this new "universe" with no history or baggage tying it down. There's almost an "anything goes" attitude that I'm sure Mr. Dini will take advantage of.

A very enjoyable issue with lots of action and another cliff hanger. I'm hoping this series continues strong and doesn't turn into a mini-series. I can't see that happening.

While all heroes rely on a combination of strength, wits, and tactics, Mirage takes the latter two to great heights. Mirage uses illusions and misdirection in extraordinary ways, even for a superheroine.While I was worried that the story had jumped the shark with the reveal in episode 3, this issue proved that Dini still has s...
