This is the third issue from the comic book series “The Five Of Us”. At this point Will and Jacob are discovering how to use their powers and try to avoid conflict. This is easier said then done. Jacob has a man called the Hunter tracking him down. Will has to face a gang called the P-HATS who are all over the neighborhood and school. Marcus now has to make a decision to put his ring to help Will with his problems.

This comic book offers us an earnest and in a way heartfelt look at the superhero genre which I have mixed feelings about for a few reasons. Which as always I will explain in this review. 

This comic book focuses mostly on personal growth of the characters in this comic book and their challenges of heroism which they go through in the plot of this comic book.

The writing style of this comic book carries a sincere tone to it. At the same time this comic book introduces a cast of characters with potential which wasn’t fully used. 

The narrative of this comic book occasionally feels a bit generic to other superhero comic books and it doesn’t quite break new ground because of how generic the narrative of this comic book is.

The pacing of this comic book is steady. Which allows this comic book to create moments for character reflection alongside action which we get in this comic book.

Some of the plot points we get in this comic book could have been developed more fully to add depth and emotional impact. Because from where I see some of the plot points this comic book makes, feel pretty undeveloped and unexplored. Which didn’t help me liking this comic book.

The characters in this comic book were pretty decent for the most part. They had some potential which the creators of this comic book didn’t use.

The story in this comic book sets up interesting themes about identity and responsibility, which had a good premise but I personally weren’t a big fan of it in this comic book.

The artwork in this comic book is solid and functional. Because it is supporting the story well but without particularly standing out.

I Give This Book 3 / 5
