Default [Comic Review] R.E.B.E.L.S. #10 Review




Review by Chris Beveridge

Mania Grade: B+

In Summary:
R.E.B.E.L.S. continues to be one of my favorite books, one that I desperately wish was available digitally more than the Blackest Night arc, and the use of this tie-in provides for a really fun connection. Because of the galactic nature of the Blackest Night storyline, it makes sense for R.E.B.E.L.S. to be involved in some form. And Bedard uses it well here by spending more of his time on the core storyline of the series with Starro and then throwing a huge wrench into how things work. While I certainly don't expect Vril to retain the yellow ring, it certainly offers a whole host of possibilities for him and his twelfth level intelligence to take his group in a very different direction and a much more interesting (and darker) potential for a LEGION he could leave. There's a lot to like here and even with the flashbacks spent highlighting material that's familiar to R.E.B.E.L.S. and LEGION fans, it's done well enough to bring up to speed new readers and hopefully hook them. This is a book that needs to grow and grow as it has so much potential as one of the best of the space based series DC Comics has to offer.
