Secret Weapons #4 (of 4)

    Most comics take a “bigger is better” approach to the idea of team comics, but Secret Weapons, thankfully, is taking a different tact.

   It features a group of young people with powers who join together as a team because they can’t hope to survive alone. 

   Their powers are - well, let’s say they’re different. 

   A girl who can talk to birds. A guy who can turn to unbreakable stone. A guy who can apparently work magic - but he can’t control it. A woman who controls electronics.

   Together they must face a powerhouse who has taken out much more experienced heroes - and seeing how they do it, and what they learn about themselves along the way, is very entertaining.

   It’s a comic that’s different from the norm, but there’s nothing wrong with that. 

   Hopefully this isn’t the last we’ll see of the Secret Weapons (and the issue promises more soon).

Grade: A-
