Z-View: The Saviors #4

Posted on by

 

The Saviors is an on-going series created by James Robinson & J. Bone published by Image.

Writer: James Robinson

Artist: J. Bone

Cover: J. Bone

 

After last issue’s mayhem and slaughter, Tomas is alone, hunted by alien invaders in a strange town where the Day of the Dead celebration does little to help things.  And when Tomas manages to trap an alien to learn its secrets, is he unwittingly setting up his own death too?

 

 

The Good

  • The conversation between Tomas and a trapped [but slowly freeing itself] alien.
  • J. Bone’s art continues to be a joy.
  • Showing how Tomas survived the blast last issue.
  • Alien: “If I were you I’d stop being curious, and I’d stop being calm… and I’d run.”
       Tomas: “Why are you telling me that? That’s almost like you’re helping me.”
       Alien: “Not at all, I simply love the hunt.”
  • The last page sets up the next issue and makes me want it now!

The Bad:

  • Tomas alone in a foreign country with an alien hunting him.

The Ugly:

  • Nothing about the story or art.  That is for sure.

Saviors #4  is a comic for mature audiences due to violence.  If you’re a fan of 1950’s movies like “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” and the 1960’s tv series “The Invaders”  then Saviors #3 is for you.
