Paradise X #9

I´m not sure where all this will lead to, what´s a good thing, since it keeps alive a spark of creativity and unknown and that´s because the major players Krueger and Ross are enrolling play a different part, that in the end will come together. Aaron, now departed of his friend Kyle, is in a personal mission to rescue humanity and that´s an intersting metaphor and concept. Captain America isn´t playing a constant role, making me confused about his angle, since he´s not chasing his family´s redemption anymore and he´s left the rest of Mar-Vell´s angels, now tagging with Kyle and Thanos. Reed Richards and his pack arrived into the Negative Zone, trying to figure out a solution to the entropy and chaos. Mephisto is the main villain here, using Jude to achieve his goals, while Britain´s role is still uncertain. From all these different stories (and many others been told in the previous issues) there´s a thread in common, which is redemption. The dialogues continue to follow a pattern that I enjoy, but I wish the pace of the story (in that point) would be a little faster. Doug´s art is solid, but he exagerates in the big panels, spread pages. This series beggined with a thrill resposnible for a contagious and exhilarate to my mind, but ever issue # 6 it kind slowed down a notch, which is a drag, but I´m still confident that it´s going to be a good end. Despite this deficiency (what is normal, since it´s a 12 issues series) this arc story proves to be amazing and it´s highly recommended.
