review:
The Victories is not your average superhero comic, and based on the content, I can only recommend it for mature readers.
The Victories are a team of superheroes, with member Faustus being primarily featured in this volume. Through the course of fighting crime, Faustus is forced to revisit and confront painful memories from his past. The harm that was done to him is threatened to be exposed, and he has to make choices that may alter his life as a hero. The other members of his team are there to provide support, and one member is also tied in closely with this story.
As a superhero team, this felt like a much needed breath of fresh air. I loved the youthfulness of the characters and there established relationships felt like they had weight and history. Michael Avon Oeming's drawing style is a bit like caricature, but the weightlessness of his heroes flying through the sky is breathtaking and exhilarating. I look forward to seeing what else The Victories get up to.
