Review
Notorious
for the first comic book love scene (which is very stylish) and the return
of Jimmy Woo from Strange Tales, this issue offers little
else of great interest. The opening with Woo passing a final test of induction
is exciting
and is a nice way to reintroduce the character and the rest of the issue
makes good use of him. The main plot involving Centuries is fantastically
illustrated but the plot lacks punch. The inclusion of the film crew is
silly and this time the mulit-track story did not come off so successfully.
