I basically picked this up because it&#8217;s a Mark Waid Flash book, and I usually enjoy his take on the character.  So far things are starting slow, which isn&#8217;t a great sign in a book about speed.  Daniel Acu\u00c3\u00b1a is doing the art, and while it&#8217;s beautiful, it&#8217;s also a little static.  Maybe I&#8217;m just longing for some <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mike_Weiringo\">Mike Weiringo<\/a> art, which Acu\u00c3\u00b1a can hardly be blamed for.

We&#8217;ve met most of the surviving Seven Guns now, and the different viewpoints on John Horus&#8217;s deeds and their general position as the hunted are starting to come out.  Still, the pace is fast and there&#8217;s not a whole lot of jawing yet.  Definitely  a thriller with something to chew on.  Honestly I&#8217;m hoping to see a little more thinking before this is over, but there&#8217;s no reason to believe Ellis will disappoint.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A actually put stuff into the longbox this week, so comics aren&#8217;t strewn across the room.
