Credits Grade: 8 The crazy summer crossover is finally here! Mix up Tithe, Think Tank, and Postal, and here you are! There are so many places in this world to explore and it is awesome that the separate parts have their own comic written about it. Eden's Fall focuses on the story of a vigilante who has taken refuge in the Wyoming town Eden, which, of course, is not supposed to exist. Only the worst of the worst are supposed to hide in Eden, an invisible, off-the-grid city, and to obtain access, you have to know some pretty shady people. (Ex) FBI agents seem to have an idea how to access it, which sends this story on a crazy under cover adventure.All of the agents are known characters in their own separate storylines in other comics. They all have a history together as well. As a new reader to his world, I am very intrigued by what this and his other stories have to share. His writing has a great rhythm to it; it is not too fast, it does not skip around, and unlike a lot of stories that have other comic books out about them, it does not expect you have read any of the previous stories. It starts you at ground zero and is not afraid to give a quick synopsis on a character. The art is great, too. Atilio Rojo's art is not super detailed, but it gives just enough information to let you know where something is happening, and, more importantly, the mood. His colors are super pretty and bright, which set up the vividness of the world of Eden and the character who reside there. This comics crossover is shaping up to be a great ride that is worth getting strapped in for. Who is it for?: Fans of spy stories, undercover agents in training, crime story fanatics. Ages 14 and up. Eden's Fall #2 comes out September 28, 2016 Written: September 3, 2016
