Revolutionary War Motormouth #1 – Review

by Glenn Dakin (Writer), Ronan Cliquet (Artist), Ruth Redmond (Colorist)

The Story: It must be tough being a mom and ex-super hero, especially when villains come at your house to kill you.

The Review: The Revolutionary War storyline has been a rather weird and mostly repetitive affair so far. With an opening issue followed by multiple issue reintroducing older heroes from the UK, there has been a certain formula, yet one that has been used to produce some more off-beat stories despite some similarities in their events. Heroes are somewhere unfitting, Mys-Tech arrive, heroes gets back in the game or gets captured, the end. While they haven’t been terrible per se, some have been rather average to say the least.

This issue, with all the things it tries to do, is pretty much the same in terms of effects and qualities. It tries its best at times to provide some genuine moments and to entertain, yet there are some odd moments that don’t really add up more than it produce weirdness for its own sake. It is, perhaps, a more British trait that the comic tries to convey in the best of ways, yet it falls off the mark at times.
