Astro City 2013 #44 eBook Kurt Busiek Pete Pantazis Alex Ross Ande Parks Rick Leonardi Reviews
This book (as should be obvious from the title) is the sequel to the story that began in Book One. The two books need to be read in order - neither is a stand-alone work. The first book was a long descent into the darker side of living in a world with super heros and super villains. Somewhere the line between blurred, and became hard to see.
The story began with a family tragedy - two brothers left orphaned during a battle between the forces of Good and Evil. As they struggled to make sense of what had happened to them, they chose different paths growing up to cope. One became a cop, the other descended into petty crime. Meanwhile things continued to go downhill.
With every year, the good guys seemed to become harder, meaner - as did the bad guys. For ordinary people, it came to seem it didn't matter who was battling - they just didn't want to become collateral damage. Justice began to seem out of reach; it began to be all about payback. The brothers found themselves as bit players on the edge, witnesses to a world going wrong, one not quite able to figure out why.
The second book takes up where the first left off. The two brothers came together after one saved the other. In Book Two, they stop being victims of their past, and become players in their own right in their ongoing struggle for justice and/or revenge. Through it all is the parallel story arc of the martyred Silver Agent. We finally learn how he came to become a redeemer (in more than one sense) traveling through time to appear at critical moments, trying to bring a message of hope amidst the darkness. The dance of destiny steered by the choices the characters make is what keeps driving the story.
Without revealing the twists and red herrings the plot turns on, Book Two comes to a satisfying conclusion. Set across decades of time, The Dark Age is an incredibly rich era in the Astro City universe; there's so many characters coming and going, there's barely time to give some of them more than the briefest of tantalizing glimpses. It would be easy to expand the story into multiple volumes - but this will do for now. Busiek and the artists working with him have crafted an epic tale with a really satisfying finish that brings the Dark Ages full circle into the rest of the Astro City universe.
In 1995,writer Kurt Busiek,along with artists Brent Anderson and Alex Ross began "Astro City",a recurring anthology series centered around a major American city where superheroes and masked vigilantes,many of them variations on the archetypes created by the many superhero comic book publishers like DC and Marvel,serve and protect their city.Many of these stories are about the heroes themselves,but there are a few centered around seemingly ordinary citizens,many of whom whose lives have been touched by life in Astro City.
When we last saw Charles and Royal Williams (see my review of "The Dark Age Book One"),they had learned the identity of their parents' killer;now,their determination to seek revenge upon this man becomes an all-consuming passion,even going so far as to join a supervillain army to achieve their goal.Not an easy task,as their world has become a destination for extraterrestrial beings,as well as the emergence of black magic,which threatens to tear apart reality itself.The brothers' quest culminates in the most unlikely of circumstances,with a final hint of events yet to come.
This has far more twists and turns than Part One (which,it goes without saying,you should read first to fully enjoy this);some of it may seem like more plot devices than actual plot,but rest assured that this conclusion to Astro City's single longest story (so far) is a good one.
