-----
This title has been a good read. Good not great. But you can see something there, just wanting to break through. This issue wraps up the first storyline, and I hope proves to be a great springboard to a stronger second arc. The three main characters have been established - Bishop, Ismael and the area known as District X. I like the Bishop that's written here and Ismael should prove to be a solid opposite. The book has a definite Alien Nation vibe, and District X itself should provide plenty of story potential. Peter David has already incorporated it in his Maddrox book and I hope more writers include this neighborhood in their New Yorks. In many ways I feel the same way with this book at the end of its opening arc as I did when I reached the final chapter of the first Power's TPB. If this series turns out half as good as Powers is, it'll be doing just fine by me.
