R.E.B.E.L.S.R.I.P.
Awesome story about the ultimate power/control freak (Braniac 2) who runs a protection-for-hire racket across the universe and then he meets his match in an even BIGGER control freak (Starro
with a Space Viking ret-con
) and we got 28 issues about that struggle and a bit more. Vril gathers the best collection of space heroes (Adam Strange, Starfire) and anti-heroes (Lobo, a Psion) bringing peace and dickish strife wherever he roams. It was a goddamned blast reading this and being on board from the beginning. Well done Bedard crafting a large story and wedging in a few smaller fun stories and even a major event tie-in while all the while staying true to the serie's imagination and sense of humor. Andy Clarke started drawing this book with some great Quietly-esque clay-form line work and St. Aubin followed for the majority of the book keeping with Clarke's general design but adding his own brand of fantastic storytelling.
This book will be missed. At least it went out on a great note. D#, to be exact.
