Review: Reborn by Mark Millar, Greg Capullo, Jonathan Glapion (L)

Synopsis: The MILLAR-CAPULLO smash-hit, sell-out REBORN is here. Where do you go when you die? Not heaven or hell--somewhere else. Somewhere you have to fight to survive. Somewhere the people from the past are waiting for you--the good and the bad. (from the online description)

Review: This comic is a speculative story about what happens after we die. In this world, those who die go on to a world of magic - and evil. It’s almost as if people are “reincarnated’ as other characters in this new world. Where you go and your powers there are based on your life on earth, good and bad.

While the premise is intriguing and the art was bold and dynamic, the plot was too fast to explain or explore the concept with any real meaning. Events seemed to happen too quickly to feel real, characters got over huge emotional events with a blink of an eye, and big problems resolved with no explanation.  But my main qualm is that who decides who is good and bad is never explained. It seems arbitrary and manipulated to make the plot easier.

Not a bad read, and short, so if you are just looking for something to fill time, this would work. And the art is excellent.
