Strange Adventures 1-12
Third Tom King maxiseries in a row. It’s interesting that while they all follow the same structure (well documented by this point), they don’t feel the same. I guess it’s like how the piano concerto form doesn’t limit the infinite possibilities available to Mozart.
As with Rorschach yesterday, the mystery that Mister Terrific is trying to unravel is an enthralling one, right up until the reveal in issue ten. While a bold move by King, it fundamentally betrays Adam Strange in a way that’s difficult for me to reconcile with my ultimate enjoyment of the story, even if I take it as an Elseworlds.
Still, the execution is flawless, and the Mister Terrific bits are…well, the name says it all. King should do a series with more of him.
