Ultimate Power #3

Ultimate Power #3
Well, unlike Hibbs, I've got to give credit where credit is due, this issue was finally interesting. The last two were nothing but completely gratuitous fight scenes. This one at least has a plot. Whereas I agree that this should have been told chronologically, logistically, the way this asinine story was constructed, that became impossible. And the Supreme Power universe also gets short shrift herein, but I'm hoping that next issue will be devoted mainly to its exploration. At this point I'd like to say this issue on its own is okay, but Greg Land's lightboxed stolen images really ruin everything this issue had going for it. Seriously, someone whose world is being attacked by an unknown biological entity is expressing her fear to a teammate, yet she has a model's smile plastered on her face as if it belonged there. Uh, what? Yet, in a very slight few panels, it seems that Land is actually doing new drawings. But he might just be copying from himself, something that he has been known to do. EH.
