Faith remains a truly awesome comic. I love the nerdy commentary, and the story lines are fantastic. Can't wait for more!
Faith is a great character and this series is just a lot of fun. I love how she looks like a normal person and the story does a good job of balancing her superhero persona with her everyday life. She's very relatable as well, from her nerdy interests to slipping off into random daydreams. The villains might be a little bit simplistic right now but they're also fun in a way that pokes fun at current pop culture. Definitely would recommend this series to anyone looking for a fun and upbeat superhe...
Oof. This is not as good as the first volume.What’s it about?Faith is struggling to balance superhero life and normal nerd life. Well, she gets pretty excited when she gets the chance to meet her favorite actor... but it might not work out so well. Oh and some trouble happens at a comic con!Pros:The story is fun. It’s nothing particularly complex or deep but it’s a fun superhero tale.The characters are still interesting. The title character is relatable and has a nice personality which makes man...
I still love Faith, but this just wasn't a terribly exciting volume. Two issues set at a con was at least one too many.
Faith is by far the best character in this current version of the Valiant universe. She should guest in every Valiant book like Wolverine in the 90's. I dig how she looks like a real person, not a super model. Her uber-nerdness gets me every time. I love her mention about how the OG Star Wars E.U. was a lot better. I've had that exact same conversation more than once. The villain in the first half of the book is a little one note but the book really shines when Faith takes Archer to his first co...
This originally appeared at The Irresponsible Reader.--- This picks up right after the stories in Volume 1 -- Zephyr establishes herself more strongly as a presence in LA, her alter ego Summer makes some more friends, and Faith goes out on a date to a comic con. I've already had to return this to the library, so I can't remember character names -- sorry. Faith's a major fan (has had recurring romantic dreams about) this super-hero/action film star who's some sort of amalgamation of Chris Evans/C...
★★★1/2Things are going pretty well for Faith. She's getting more popular as a superhero, her budding relationship with Archer is still going strong, and she's doing pretty well at work. But the life of a superhero doesn't come without it's complications. And Faith's comes in the form of the arrival of her first arch-nemesis!I hope they develop that villain here a bit more as they continue this series because I felt a little let down in this volume. The series is still bright, optimistic, and ado...
Having read the first season of Faith with immense enjoy, I couldn't wait to pick up the new series. I read them as single issues, and my faith in the story and the writers diminished with each passing panel. Where in season 1, the novelty of Faith being the first plus-sized superhero to headline a comic book was overshadowed by her wit, her humour and the action-packed storyline, the first three issues of season 2 retread a lot of the angst of Faith in season 1, but without quite as much humour...
Full review: http://heathersreadinghideaway.blogsp...Quick review: This series is amazing. I love the story, the dialogue, the art, and the characters. Faith is a character I am so happy to be rooting for and I wish this series or something like it was available for me when I was younger. I cannot recommend this comic series enough.
I bloomin' love this series!!The story in this volume is very contained. I like that it's small and takes place in a geek convention XD
Faith does grow on you because I enjoyed this second volume a bit more than the first.I particularly liked the chapters where she goes to a comic convention. It played right into my geek sensitivities. The writing still feels a bit weak in spots, but I like the art and really appreciate all the super geeky elements that are included.I'm still not super excited to get the next volume, but I'm glad I read this far.
I read a lot of comics, and even more writing about comics and there's one cliche that's contained in a great number of such writing: X is a superhero who manages to be one of us. This is a cliche, that often falls flat because Hero X is blessed with superhuman abilities, superb genes that make them look like Gucci models, and who's secret identity is usually a multi-billionaire who can afford monogrammed toilet paper.That's why Faith is so wonderful because for once the cliche isn't just a clic...
Totally stellarSomehow, even though I don’t usually do wholesome, this hit me just right. Loves all the issues. Each one had something unique and fun. Jody Houser knows this character incredibly well, and does a great job keeping her true to herself. The stories are all engaging and pleasing. Definitely a great run so far!
Really good. Love the art work and love Faith. This is a feel-good comic for everyone with positive messages and goofy storylines. Honestly how fun is it to send a superhero to a comic-con so she can fan girl out and then have to save the day from magical duplicates!?
Delightfully meta, this may be one of my favourite Valiant runs of all time.
I love that this character and comic exists.
I was not impressed with the first volume of this series, nor was I impressed with the first half of this book. (Stupid villain, bland characters and action.) The second didn't seem like it would improve much as the main character and her boyfriend went to a comic convention and stumbled across yet another stupid villain. But then in the final chapter a doppelganger appears and the story ends in the sort of grand gesture of heroism and sacrifice for which I am a total sucker. I feel like I'm fin...
I used to go to cons regularly and really enjoyed the con part of this graphic novel. Except the art, it's better than the first volume.
Still liking this series. In this volume, Faith plays D&D, actually meets Chris Chriswell, fights an honest-to-god supervillain, and goes to a con.In some ways Faith reminds me of Ms. Marvel and Squirrel Girl. Yes, she's older, but all of them share a similar cheerful, can-do spirit, as well as an endearing geekiness. Not that Marvel/Valiant crossovers are common, but I’d love to see the three of them go to a con together or something. This is definitely not a Grim and Gritty series, and that's
Superstar (Faith #1-4). Faith continues to have great characterization and to really focus on what her life is like. Here we get a fun interaction with her Dungeon Master and a very cute date with Archer at a ComiCon. (Basically, any interaction with Archer is great.) But, it continues to be weak with its plots. A would-be arch-nemesis is only interesting because he suggests a long-term plot, and a murderous mouse is interesting only because he's at ComicCon. With that said, the fourth issue rai...
