Strange Adventures

4.5 stars

There is so much I loved about this book, in particular the amazing art by both Mitch Gerads and Doc Shaner, as well as Mister Terrific's characterization. I've long considered Mister Terrific to be one of the coolest guys around, but so many of these stories have seemed underwhelming. Not so with this book. Mister Terrific IS the coolest guy around and I am fully a fan.

Unfortunately, I can't give this book a full 5 stars because the character assassination of Adam Strange is such a cynical take to make him relevant. Don't get me wrong, I'm not very familiar with Adam Strange, but making him out to be the villain seems like such a cop-out.

That said, taking this book for what is it, I think it's beautiful, engaging, and well-told. I can easily see myself revisiting this one time and again.
