Artifacts - Issue 23
This is a choppy issue that is, essentially, two fights between the same people. For as much fighting as there is, it's a remarkably drama-less story. At least it has a great recap of previous issues. However, it has some of the best artwork found in comic books today. It's surprising that the cover isn't as good as the interior art.
Score: 7.5 out of 10
It Girl And The Atomics - Issue 5
This comic is full of interesting characters and strange adventure for all involved. It contains the most virtual of virtual battles ever as heroes control their own avatars to save one of their friends trapped in a game. Sort of like Tron on acid. The art is fine. The cover is fantastic.
Score: 7 out of 10
The Activity - Issue 10
