3.5

As with the previous volume, an interesting premise is undercut by mostly workmanlike art, and, this time, incoherent politics. There are pages that really shine - one sequence, involving flipping pages in a series of fight panels, is particularly memorable- but it mostly made me wish the volume had had a more powerful artist. The book also feels like it's telling me that capitalism is good, actually, despite the first issue setting up our Soviet-era cosmonaut as the good guy. This feels like it's trying to give me "complicated morality" but instead feels somewhat incoherent, especially as I'm not familiar with the rest of the Valiant universe.
