Moving Target: The History and Evolution of Green Arrow.From Bayou to Abyss: Examining John Constantine, Hellblazer.Judging Dredd: Examining the World of Judge Dredd.Towards the end of the issue, the line work becomes a little less polished in places, but that works with Maitreya unforming people to create a dome of bone and flesh. This issue is more focused and Gastonny brings a strong energy to it, pages just crackling with frenetic lines. A page where his arms are cut off is brutal and beautiful. Visually, he looks like a blue human, but his movements and reactions are contradictory and not easy to figure out on first glance. His Krishna is both terrifying and soft in his demeanor.

The repercussions on Earth are dramatic as you can imagine.Īfter three issues of establishing just how alien and different these creatures are, this issue finally has them interact in a meaningful way and Garrie Gastonny does a superb job with the action. Krishna's response is startling: creating matter faster than Malak can destroy it, Krishna launches Malak into space, causing him to crash into the moon, and go straight through it, creating a gaping hole from one end to the other.

Malak destroys things by being in their presence, leaving nothing but fiery wreckage as it walks from Iran to India. But, it's Malak, the Iranian creation, that proves to be the most interesting opponent for Krishna. The Russian superhuman is no match for Krishna, though their fight is quite unlike other superhuman fights that I've seen with the Russian revealing its inhumanity by the end in a startling fashion. As a result, other nations send their own superhumans to stop Krishna before its vision extends beyond India. The Indian supergod, Krishna has set about saving India by killing off a huge chunk of its population and sealing the country off from the rest of the world.
