If you've been reading Young Allies (reviewed here) or her backup features in Captain America, you may well be asking yourself "Who is this Nomad person and why should I care?" Created by the same team that brought you Young Allies, Nomad: Girl Without A World will answer that for you.

This is a follow-up to my earlier review of the first three parts of Prince of Power, available here.
Two words: Epic. Win.
Not only in the colloquial sense - amazingly great - but also completely literally. Amadeus Cho succeeds on a level easily equal to anything you'll find in a vast, universe-spanning tale of gods and heroes.
For those of you playing along at home who may have missed the first review, let me explain why this is relevant to your interests. Imagine you took Tim Drake and Lex Luthor and put them in a blender. And then dropped the brash, brilliant, ferociously loyal and frequently overreaching product of this match onto the same playing field as the Greek and Norse gods. Do you see why this might be relevant to your interests?
For the first three issues of this four issue miniseries, Amadeus has been, well, losing. Losing entertainingly with brilliance and style, but losing.
Yeah, that changes.

No one will ever notice a guy in primary colors with a big white star on his chest!Lo, it came to pass that Steve Rogers was resurrected, but Ed Brubaker didn't feel like giving him back the title of Captain America yet because he was having too much fun writing Bucky/Winter Soldier/James Barnes/You know, that guy in the role.
And yet people wanted to read about Steve. What to do? Why, give him a new title! Enter the mini-series Steve Roger: Super Soldier. Yes! It will be gritty and realistic!
The gritty, realistic world of robot femme fatales and super soldier serums.

Dear comic book artists.
I know you love your fully articulated Uhura action figure. So do I! But actual humans do not have a smooth ribcage devoid of ribs attached to a ball-jointed belly piece.
Even if the bottom of the ribcage is visible there's supposed to be a smooth transition from the one part to the other thanks to, well, healthy muscle and organs. And if you are so starved that there's a huge notch between the bottom of your ribcage and the rest of you, your ribs would most assuredly be visible.
I guarantee you you will never see this on an actual human being. Never.
