Straight Forward Reviews : Unity # 4

The epic crossover event Unity continues on with it's twisting story. 

Writer - Matt Kindt

Artist - Doug Braithwaite

Publisher - Valiant

Review by Jeremias de Leon

Story

Livewire, Ninjak and Gilad concoct a plan to go after who they feel is the real threat.  That's all that will be said for the details of the plot so as not to spoil what goes on. 

The dialog in this issue is the shining point here. When the characters speak to each other about what they have planned or on why they're doing what they are doing you really feel that they really do have their own thoughts, motivations and personalities. None of the characters feel like cardboard cut-outs. Which, sometimes can be a downfall of a series like this with so many characters to have to keep track of.

Art

The art in this has a wonderful sense of action. It conveys all the fighting and super powers used clearly and with a great sense of dynamism. 

Verdict

With the great dialog and phenomenal action in this issue and with the plot totally switching from what you thought it was with it's first two issues this is a must read. I give Unity # 4 a 9.5 out of 10.
