For the smartest guy on earth, Mr. Terrific does a pretty bad job at figuring out how to stop all these dastardly plots: just sit on Sapphire Stagg’s father.
What. A. Dick.
On the other hand, I learned the difference between a sentient species and a sapient species, so that’s cool.
Despite the cardboard villain, this is still a fun series.

I still have no idea why this series exists. Jeff Lemire is no longer attached and its less quirky but manages to get worse. The was a slog to get through. The art was good but this book isn't.

As I’ve said, I’m mainly reading this to see the quips between teammates at this point. Once again I live for Rex and Eel.
I did get very quickly underwhelmed by how the relationship of Mr. and Ms. Terrific was utilized because it didn’t feel very fleshed out. Them fighting together is badass, them constantly playing the “comparison game” got very old. I liked the eventual understanding that they are not the same as their counterparts, but still care for each other deeply. Just wish that revelation had come sooner!
Stagg is such a literally comical villain it sometimes makes it hard to take it all seriously. He’s the embodiment of the harms capitalism brings by pushing constantly ahead without pausing to double check for consequences. The number of his things that could have resulted in the death of even his own daughter without the Terrifics there? Astounding. This man cares for nothing but money.
Makes for a good (if campy) villain though.
