DC's minis lately have been great...excluding Metal Men...I really look forward to this mini. What a first issue...I was never into the Freedom Fighters, but when they were massacred during Infinite Crisis...it made me interested to say the least. Now I am cool with this old school team, that tackles modern day problems...and are openly honest about terrorism and sexual activities. Surprise!
Red Bee took for front and she is super revamped...this is the first time I have even heard of her...but she is now awesome and with some cool powers. The team splits...one part vigilantes and the other government agents. The art really works...Kudos to Arlem...and wow what an issue again...thanks Palmiotti.
Hear my pitch, an American icon composed of its purest values whose also a superhero and there's a culture shock when he sees the corruption of todays society. Sounds familiar? That's because Marvel has milked it for Captain America for decades and based his downfall on it in Civil War. For a medium and company such as DC, tackling stories for heart-felt reasons were never their forte. It is incredibly hard to create a novelty comic in a monthly series format. And for such a political figure Uncle Sam is, the content should set platforms in a graphic novel format.
