The issue also makes clear that the Freedom Fighters aren’t afraid to kill Nazis, but I’m fine with that – these aren’t heroes fighting colorful supervillains.

Even when it’s partially destroyed, it keeps on coming and it takes a joint effort of large and small to stop it. The threats are big and terrifying – starting with a killer Nazi robot who reminds me of the Iron Giant gone horribly wrong. Visually, this is one of the most epic comics I’ve read in a while, and that’s a genre Venditti excels in. I just wish we were given a bit more reason to care about our heroes – only Black Condor makes a big impression on me here.īut that’s not to say there isn’t a lot to like here – starting with the fantastic art by Eddy Barrows and his team. The Freedom Fighters – Human Bomb, Doll Woman, Phantom Lady, and a ridiculously souped-up Black Condor – still mostly come across as stock heroes, but their story is driven by the plight of the world they live in and the powerful impact their return has on the civilians who may have given up hope. So this issue is the first time we really see the main characters – but even in Freedom Fighters #2, Venditti seems to be less interested in his supposed protagonists than he does in the world they inhabit. That’s because it spent most of the issue showing us the fall of the previous generation of Freedom Fighters, before flashing forward to a world that’s lived under the Nazi boot for decades just as a new generation of heroes emerge. Ray: The first issue of Freedom Fighters, Venditti and Barrows’ maxiseries set in a Nazi-occupied America, didn’t quite set up the series as a whole.
