Review: Unity, Volume 2: Trapped by Webnet

Unity, Volume 2: Trapped by Webnet by Matt Kindt
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is a little bit of a challenge to review because it's a little different from other Valiant books. For a second volume, it has one less issue than most. On top of that, one of the issues is a reprint from another series featuring the first appearance of Ninjak. I decided to give this book a pass on these two points. The reprint issue was disappointing to see, but it is so enjoyable and readers that haven't picked up any of the X-O Manowar books might appreciate seeing more of these characters in a slightly different context.

The main story centers around Dr. Silk, who specializes in cloning and more specifically transferring the mind between bodies. He is a pretty dark character who has been around for a long time. It is refreshing to see another antagonist in the Valiant stories since so much has been piled on Toyo Harada.

Altogether, I enjoyed this story. It gives more of the team dynamic for the hero characters. I like how they get pulled into Silk's story and deal with him. An extra issue wouldn't have necessarily been a benefit to the story. Solid character art throughout.
