NEO HYPER Book Club #2 (28 may - 11 jun)

[Todd Ingram]

Alright guys, time for the next official Batman review!  An alliance forged in blood……, Hey at least they got the title going for them. Apparently it's about some old dude, a wise man, a calm man, someone you can kick back with on a quiet Sunday evening for a beer. And then there is a woman, a loose cannon, shoot first ask questions later, a renegade. So Riggs and Murthough find themselves in allot of trouble this episode…. No wait… that’s something different. Got carried away there. On to the review! *insert lethal weapon saxophone*

Here's a little Christa preview:

The story itself is pretty straightforward, a strange duo meets up during a fight, bond and continue to fight for a common goal. Pretty straight forward right? Well the thing that makes the story good isn't the red line throughout the story, it's the way they've described every single detail of every moment that made it special.


The chemistry created between the two secondary's  started to take place during the bar scene, once the drinking began, so did the growing of a bond with these two unlikely allies began. I love how not the battle before but the sharing of alcohol actually started to give them some depth as a duo. When I finally started to accept them as partners a second battle followed, and this was a big one. The length of this fight was pretty long but so well written, every bullet, every breath, every action was described into great detail. It allowed me to create a very detailed picture of the entire bar fight. Even though the fight dragged on for a while, it was one of the strongest moments of the entire thread, simply because of the way these two great writers took the time to think about every moment.


The story was a great prequel to the secondary sage which we all came to know and love. Reading this gives both Isaac and Christa allot more depth.


About the characters:


Isaac, the old fart started to grow on me throughout the story, even though I was hoping at points he would stick his neck out and stopped playing it safe, it eventually started to grow on me. Also, his powers are unique and so versatile, you make great use of it during the story. Also, he's getting too old for this shit.



Christa, the badass. We know, she's a badass, we had to read about just how much of a badass she was every paragraph. Did I mention she is a badass? All jokes aside, there is allot more to the character, her background and the way she is dealing with it makes her one of the better secondaries on the site.

Final judgment:

It was a very entertaining story to read, I have to admit, it took me several sit downs to finish it. For me personally it would have been easier to read if some scene's were a bit shorter. I know I contradict myself with this statement but for the flow of the story I would've preferred it, this is something I personally prefer, not to criticize your choice of length for the scenes. I still enjoyed the story ALLOT and am glad I got to find out more about the past of these two adventures before they went to find Omni.


Would Batman recommend this story to a friend: Yes.


Bonus: Batman would like to recommend this story for the great bonus.
