Resurrection #3 – Review

By Marc Guggenheim (writer) & David Dumeer (art)

Unfortunately, there is really nothing important happening in this issue. The story is advancing, but in baby steps. Personally, I feel this is a bad decision if you’re on your third issue and struggling to get new readers.

The story touches upon everyone we met over the last two issues. The bug that’s a prisoner of Judith McCreary escapes. Sara and Benjamin try to help the guy who got caught inside the alien spacecraft. They try to turn the power supply off, but the craft’s defense system mysteriously continues to operate. On the government side, there is an unsuccessful assassination attempt on the president by the military. And that’s it – nothing else is revealed about the bugs. This book is already hovering on mediocrity and this issue really needed a payoff.

Marc Guggenheim needs to stop driving on the slow lane. I’ll give this series the remaining two issues to pick things up. After that, I’m going to drop it if nothing improves. It’s got a great premise, it just needs better execution. If you still haven’t read issue #1, you can find it here. Hopefully, next issue will be better than this. (Grade: D+)
