Infantino is back! For real this time!
I had mentioned that Carmine Infantino as he got older was limiting his projects. Thus, he stepped away from projects often and used assistants. The letter col in the back of this issue kinda confirms all this as at the time of this publication, DC is in the throes of CRISIS and Infantino was needed to help on a few of the many tie-in books to that game changing event.
As for this issue, Resistance leader Julie is the primary focus. She's heading to her home town in New Mexico to meet with a contact. Only, Julie isn't aware that this fellow Resistance cohort has been captured by the Visitors and that she is now walking into a trap.
Of all the issues for Carmine Infantino to return to, I don't really know why he chose this one. There's very little action. It's more of a romance story as Julie runs into her old high school beau. Issue #6 is more of a psychological thriller in the vein of Alfred Hitchcock as you wonder throughout the tale if this old flame of Julie's is a friend or now a foe working with the Visitors.
Great read. Just nowhere near on par with the level of action and adventure that has peppered the past 5 issues. It really feels like a waste of Infantino's talents, if you ask me.
Worth Consuming!
Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
