Icon's cape on that opening page, is Archangel's wings. The pleated look is cool. Different from the McFarlane flowing, organic cape or the Mister Miracle/Doctor Strange back-shield. When Icon leads Raquel into his secret hideaway where his intact life pod is, I wonder what's making such a bright, blinding white light? And, why? Also, during his explanations, I realize (again): Raquel is only...15 years old!?...very recently troubled by her unplanned pregnancy, and she's decided on a costume with a boob window. Hah. She comes across as more like 18 here. Yet again: an alien race is made up entirely, at least predominantly, of “peaceniks” who are naturally morally superior to humanity and have incidentally or not swung by Earth to proselytize and demonstrate to the inferior humans some higher ethics embodied as an entire, completely believable, alien species. The coloring also looks similar to Valiant's house “format”. I forget what it's named, though I'm SURE I saw it printed within the inside indicia text, which is added to each comic book issue of any series. Despite an online search, and looking through the last issues of Magnus and Turok I've read, I couldn't find the color style's name again. Kyle Ritter's name came up as a result, linked to coloring for Valiant, though! (The modern, corporation ownership of “Valiant”, of course. Kyle's not that old.) Agreed, this does come across more like “Icon's origin: Lite version”. More like, just the first part or layer to his explanation to Raquel. Still, it's not wholly unsatisfying. Just, more like an...appetizer. A primer for next issue's continuation. Ideally, however as the beginning of a crossover event, we'll see. Thanks again for another review, Darksyde Marinus, best of luck with your medical appointments, and have another good day.
OMG i tyoed awhole thing for the second time wanted to push SAVE and then pushed CANCEL. this is the 3th time im typoing it aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!! Alright here is quick vcersion lol Il ove the cape. There is something very satisfying seend a cape that big. looks epic. Good question. Maybe for dramatic effect?0 hmmm. Right? maybe she was growing up in a harder enviroment and thus growing up...faster? Every alien comes over a superior over us monkeys hahah in the 90's. Man i love the colors so much. if i could find a colorsit that could replicate that i would hire him/her in a second. I missed opprotunity imo. They could have dive deeper in his alien character on his planet/cruiser/gfamily/personality etc. Ow well. It was not bad, still. Allright lets hope i push the right button this time. Till later iconic Mike :p
