Issue #4 of Faith is the second part of
Faith and her boyfriend Archer going to a Comic Con. A villain sees
the con as the perfect opportunity to steal things worth a lot of
money and to rob people. At the very end of the last issue Faith came
face to face with another Faith and at first it looked like this was
who she was going to have to fight but the awesome part is that the
other faith is a duplicate of some sorts but is also a good person
and they both realize that they just want to do good and fight evil.
I am really loving this series. I hate
that some people are writing this series off just because the
superhero is “overweight” or whatever or think that is all that
she is about because there is so much more to this character and
series. For one, it is such a fun comic! I love the humor, the
foibles of being a super hero, there is a lot of humor about comic
culture, and having fun with the super hero genre as a whole. Also
with this issue there are some helpful tips with going to a comic con
like in the last issue which is helpful to people who have never been
to a con before.
The villain in this story is capable of
creating copies of things. Villains with creepy teddy bear heads who
are wreaking havoc at the convention and that is how there is a copy
of Faith. I love that there is a copy of her and that there are two
of them. By the end of the issue the Faith copy had to go for reasons
that I would rather not say so I don't spoil it for you but I really
wish that she could have stayed. It would have been awesome if there
were two Faith's and that they were best friends maybe and an awesome
super hero team.
The artwork by Pere Perez and Andrew
Dalmouse is so spot on. I love the detail and even more so how there
is a freshness to it which is hard to describe. I like that there are
not a lot of dark tones and it compliments this comic. I also like
the views from above with some of the frames. There is a lot of
creativity put into all the different angles with the frames and the
detail with the characters is just nice.
The next issue coming out November 2nd
is going to be a new arc with the title Dark Star and one of the
covers has Hillary Clinton on it with Faith which I do not like at
all. No, it's not because I'm a Trump supporter. I am also really
disliking how Trump is popping up in comics lately but I don't think
that Clinton is a factor in the next issue. I think it's just
happening because of the election and nothing more, hopefully. I will
definitely have to get an issue that has a different cover on it for
sure.
