Review: Salvation Run #1-7 (DC Comics, ‘08)
Salvation Run was written by Bill Willingham and Matthew Sturges with art by Sean Chen, Walden Wong, Joe Bennett, Belardino Brado, and Wayne Faucher. I was interested in this more than the political Decisions Willingham wrote; I am drawn to a solid villain story.
The story is pretty much World War Hulk only instead of the hero the villains are set up in a remote planet in space. They have to form factions to survive their ordeal and many B-lower level villains end up biting the dust. I liked how two major groups formed one lead by the Joker the other by Lex Luther. There was too much going on with character thought captions. One character would start the issue off with what was going on, and later someone with their own thoughts. If there was only one or two people’s conscience throughout the whole mini I would have appreciated this story more, basically their where too many voices.
I would not consider this worthy of purchasing in trade format. I love the writing team and the art but I really had a problem with this being tied into what was going on with Countdown.
