The Terrifics Vol. 2: Tom Strong and the Terrifics by Jeff Lemire
4.0
I'm kind of torn on this title. It's somewhat of an stylistic outlier in Lemire's body of work--though I believe this is a larger creative team than some of the other comics he's written for.
The echoes of the Fantastic Four are even clearer in this volume. It's a fact that always hangs over the story, never quite letting it distinguish itself. The art has some great moments alongside some odd pieces--but the visuals ultimately flow together well enough for my liking.
The characters are fun, and there are some really good moments in this volume. Lemire's talent for conflicted characters definitely comes through, adding some strength to the story of a misfit team trying to define their place in the world.
It's not perfect, but there's enough here that works to keep me invested in what happens next.
