*** POSSIBLE SPOILER WARNING ***

Adams has got to be having some fun in dealing with the Hollywood hijinks in Kyle’s life. Watching him handle Odyssey’s trolls spins into some fin directions. It provides a more comical approach to his latest surroundings. The humor is there in the writing except for the needed breaks. One of which is the re-emergence of Jade. Her involvement offers a great counter balance to how Kyle and Odyssey handle business.

Readers watch as the true antagonist reveal is an all time classic. It leads to a wild action sequence. Behind the scenes, Hal Jordan’s time is brief but builds for more. It doesn’t hold a candle to the reaction of dealing with an online troll in real life. The conflict comes to an ingenious fashion. Leave it to Adams to take it here. However, events get very serious on the final page. Expect some online reaction for this character for sure!

READ LAST ISSUE’S REVIEW HERE!

Xermánico returns for art duties. The opening sequence teases a horror feel as the threat gets established. This gets replaced by more friendly panels showing Kyle and Odyssey addressing the online attacks. Reactions are priceless as this occurs. Hal Jordan’s time is memorable due to a fantastic full page jump. Reader can appreciate this before the absurdity of Rayner’s latest foe becomes apparent. A half panel ushers them in with Kyle’s reaction reflecting much of the audience. The action picks up steam with a great full page shot. It concludes with a wild panel sequence of Kyle and Jade watching events. As previously mentioned, nothing will top the full final page. Buckle in for that.

FINAL GRADE: 8.4

Kyle vs. the internet … round one….FIGHT! Adams puts Rayner in a most comical situation as a downer of being a celebrity comes to his front door. The art shines in its’ expressions of the often humorous moments before the show stoppign finale page. Hollywood is never a boring time.
