But I don't know why it even felt like it even had an opportunity to get off the floor at all. I have to say that at the re-read level, I liked how it fit nicely into the real-stream consciousness of the story, although I don't know why Bloodshot wouldn't prepare - at least a little - for Armstrong. Being the heavy, it might be something. The story doesn't REALLY dig much further than the basic background of most of the rest of the issues. It isn't a bad story - but really, without Armstrong, it isn't the same level of story. It does try to reach a bit into the humor, and it sort of tells more about his background - being abducted - and confirming that he isn't, in fact, related. But as far as an impactful origin? Missed the mark.
I loved last month, but...
Last month took a good step forward, but this one felt like a mis-fire. It seemed like the changes hit the book - and felt too forced. Last month taking its toll on the Mom and then running away - decent. But now following around this baby with crazed powers that just doesn't feel about killing the only two people it knew - this went the wrong direction. Now it has changed too much. And the Blob sort of amalgam family from the edge of the Pitt - and now turning into some messy melty thing? This is where the writing goes? And I haven't even really talked about Ken just re-integrating himself and battling the Super-Baby? What in the world? Ugh.
