Full review: http://heathersreadinghideaway.blogsp...Quick Review: This series is constantly showing me why Faith is my favorite superhero. This volume definitely got a bit more intense and dark. There was less humor, but I don't see that as a bad thing because we got to see Faith be a bit more vulnerable. I think the fact that every volume shows a new side to Faith is so great because as I keep reading she becomes more of a realistic whole character. I cannot recommend this series enough.

Not as good as the others. If this was the first volume I'd picked up, I don't know if I'd keep reading. There just wasn't much... ooomf?

This volume is sort of all over the place, as we first introduce yet another villain to challenge Faith, but then right after a cliffhanger we take a couple of breaks for a sorta silly election/Hillary Clinton special issue. That’s not the only example though. The momentum is broken up a lot in this one. But we do get some great points that even though Faith doesn’t fight the big bads that people like X-O Manowar and Shadowman fight, it doesn’t make her efforts any less important. Because even t...

This is definitely better than the first volume. Apparently the series gets better as it goes along.

I love Faith as a character, but these stories just weren't the most compelling.

Superstar (#5-8). Sadly, Faith continues to be entirely mediocre in this third volume. There's a totally forgettable fight with a dark-anime-girl (that at least touches upon the larger anti-psiot bigotry) and there's a largely unbelievable bit of ghostly recrimination (that at least tries to tie together Faith's adventures0. The only particularly notable thing in this volume is the extra Hillary Clinton story, which is great, because unlike the rest, it's about something [3/5].

Faith is awesome. I really enjoyed this volume, though agreed, the issue featuring Hillary Clinton was a bit random, mainly because it was shoe-horned in the middle of a story arc. I didn't mind it, though, and ultimately felt it was bittersweet given the outcome of the election. But Faith, Volume 3, picks up where Volume 2 left off.My one complaint, and this could just be the digital version, the issues were combined into the omnibus as-is. So I had to flip through previews for other titles, ex...

This one felt a little more directionless than the previous volumes, and the Hillary content really does look embarrassingly dated from the jaded perspective of reading in 2022.

Upbeat and nice. Which, incidentally, isn’t usually my jam. I think this is good for kids or people who enjoy bright, fun romps. I didn’t particularly love it, but again… it may just not be for me.

Losing steam. It's hard to care about a superhero whose daring adventures, moral quandaries, and dalliances with darkness last only as long as an eight-hour workday. It's even harder, by extension, to share in the elation of the feats accomplished by such a superhero. Indeed, how consequential is saving the ego of a fallen teen popstar, or stopping average bank robbers from getting away, or thwarting a power-hungry peep geek, knowing full well that by the next sunrise, the book's creative team w...

Alright so... this is average superhero fare now?What’s it about?Faith has to deal with a psycho teen celebrity, ghosts, the 2016 election and more!Pros:The story is pretty fun. Like I said in the beginning, it’s average superhero stuff... that being said I think superhero stuff is fun as this is meant to be so it works.The main character is still interesting. I like the way that Faith’s a nerd and has emotions that Houser writes very well so readers will likely relate to her because of that.The...

Faith is a breath of fresh air in the realm of superhero comics. I love her psiot powers, her geeky personality and the uncomplicated trajectory of the plot arcs. However, after the excitement at the Con during Volume 2, thwarting the entity that was controlling Zoe fell flat for me. It was good to find about the existence of Project Rising Spirit, who I'm sure will turn up again.Briefly delving into Faith's backstory in the second half of the volume was a welcome return to normalcy. The hinted

Hmmm … honestly this volume is … eh … not quite as interesting as the previous two. It feels like marking time, for the most part. The story with Hillary Clinton, in particular, feels very dated, which is sad, because it actually didn't appear that long ago. Don't get me wrong. It's still a fun book. Faith is still Faith. The whole Dark Star storyline was fairly interesting. And the final scene of the last story shows promise for future storylines.But most of what stands out in my memory of this...

I don't know why but I just wasn't as into this volume as the first two. It felt kind of like a connecting volume - a way to bridge the gap between the story from the last volume and what I assume will happen next - and less like something that could stand on its own. Also while the election special was very great in theory, reading it two years later is really just more depressing than anything.

I do like this series, but I’m having a hard time with the double narration, where the artwork and dialogue are telling the story at the same time additional narration is going on in little text boxes. I think the latter is supposed to be whatever article she’s composing for her job. It’s a neat idea, but I can’t make my brain go along with it. I like Faith, but I think this is it for me.

A teen idol goes missing, and it’s up to Faith to find her. But when Project: Rising Spirit make the scene, she knows that there’s more to this disappearance than meets the eye – like a talking cat, for example? Then a blast from the past targets Faith, and seemingly resurrects her many failures to haunt her. Plus, Faith meets Hillary Clinton! Continuing the tradition of the previous volumes, this one’s split into two two-part stories. First is Dark Star, which thrusts Project: Rising Spirit bac...

Faith battles both a teen star and an old enemy here, with a brief interlude where she saves Hilary Clinton and urges people to vote. Faith is working hard saving people in her city, and feeling a little uncertain about herself in these stories. Faith remains interesting, as she's caring, positive and kind of adorable--I love her non-broodiness.

The first four issues of this series were great. One of my favorite comic discoveries this year. The second four, this collection, not so much. Lots of promise but not much more than that. Hopefully the final four will bring back the magic of the first.

The first thing I noticed is that there are more women credited at the top of the cover: Jody Houser (writer) and Marguerite Sauvage (fantasy sequence artist) have been part of the crew, but Meghan Hetrick (artist), Colleen Doran (artist), and Louise Simonson (writer) are new. In case you are confused, a trade paperback of a comic is several smaller Issues bound in one glossy, shelf-friendly collection. Thus, each Issue may have a different artist.The plot of Superstar is largely about Zoe Hines...

The 2 stories within were more dark and intense with less humor. I prefer my Faith light and fluffy with a side of nerdishness. Editorially I wished they had rearranged the backup stories in issue 5 so that they didn't appear right in the middle of the first story. The stories were stand alone and could have easily been moved before or after the story they interrupted.
