Outsiders, Vol. 4: Crisis Intervention by Jen Van Meter, Matthew Clark, Dietrich Smith, Judd Winick
3.0
I didn't enjoy this volume as much as volume 3. It just didn't grab me.
To be honest, it seemed as though this was made of some tie ins to Donna Troy's story in another tie in. It probably is and I'm just missing it. Anyway, I don't know much about Captain Marvel Jr or Mary Marvel and I never really wanted to. Those are characters I'm just not that invested in.
I didn't mind Katana showing up here. I was interested in her thinking the others hadn't earned the name. I did like the little interlude of her, Grace, Anissa and Roy taking on bad guys together. I enjoyed Grace talking to Roy about him being a superhero and too heroic to truly be an Outsider. I don't know his exact timeline but I know he ends up on the JL at one point and good for him!
I was confused about Sabbac's reign of terror in that it didn't last very long. I expected some True Blood level esque Bacchus plot where he stuck around for a while infecting everyone. I'm honestly a little bummed. I kinda dig plots where the world is cursed to sort of implode and everyone attacks each other. It's hard to fight when you don't want to hurt the aggressors.
But anywho, this was a thing volume and I'm hoping the next one has more for me to latch on to.
