Familiarizing the audience with characters is an important factor in a story. It gives the readers a reason to care about the story and to care about the actions by the characters. Issue #3 of The Immortal Men focuses on this factor, but I am not sure if I am entirely sold on this somewhat late introduction.

035 - Welcome to this week's show. It's just a regular review week for me, a little bit of the new, a little bit of the continuing... ongoing... whatever. I'll leave the list below, but it's 13 minutes of your life, feel free to be surprised!
Comic Books covered on this episode:
Justice League: No Justice #1
Sideways #4
The Immortal Men #2
Relay #1
RoboCop: Citizen's Arrest #2
Savage Takes: Vampirella #1
The second issue of Immortal Men further introduces us to the team at hand. As we get to know a little more about each team member, we are able to ask ourselves if we want to take this journey with these heroes.
Issue two begins with more exposition on the four superheroes that make up The Immortal Men. With that said, we start to learn the powers of each character while they exhibit them through their actions. As for Caden Park, the main interest in this comic, he is on the run as the villains attempt to capture him. It is still a mystery as to why Caden is so important but like this issue states, “this is only the beginning.”

033 - Back with more comics for you. Mostly new issues, but this is the first week that I haven't been slamming through graphic novels. Though I could have done that again this week, those reviews will be up later, and I don't want to spoil them. Perhaps next time. Right now though I'm going to get vague and save the spoilers for once! Earmuffs off people, that and it's like 90 today where I live so you'll just look like an asshole.

The fate of the world rests on the shoulders of our unexpected protagonist. We’ve heard this story before: an unlikely hero will rise to the occasion. But does The Immortal Men put a new spin on this tale or is it by the books?
We begin with our dubious protagonist in a dream sequence where he encounters a secret group of heroes and a sanctuary known as The Campus. The protagonist, Caden Park, wakes up from this dream but then sees a familiar face from the daze he just had. Caden knows there is something suspicious going on, but his psychiatrist brushes it off as an overactive imagination. As it turns out, Caden’s premonitions are correct, and he soon finds himself in the middle between two groups of superpowered beings: one trying to save him and the other trying to kill him.
