The Terrifics, Vol. 2: Tom Strong and the Terrifics by Viktor Bogdanovic, Dale Eaglesham, Joe Bennett, Jeff Lemire

2.0

The second volume of Jeff Lemire’s homage to the Silver Age-era Fantastic Four stalls out after what had been a strong opening arc in the first volume. This volume also gets stuck in a narrative morass for two issues after the team disbands and goes back to their civilian lives. There’s just not all that much beneath the surface of these characters that’s worth digging this deeply into.

I know that Lemire has recently passed writing duties over to Gene Luen Yang, which means that it’s possible that the next big story arc will regain the book’s prior vitality. I really enjoyed the opening arc to this book, so I’m hoping it can find its footing again.
