As Jordan Savage struggles to use his father’s mystic sword against attacking Mordorks, his twin sister is locked in a battle of her own. Namely, her own anxiety and the legacy of her heroic mother, which has now suddenly been foisted upon her. It’s hard enough to live up to the reputation of a woman who you never understood and who you think doesn’t understand you, but it’s even harder when the entire human race depends on it! This penultimate issue of the first series of Just Brutal is not just a crucial inflection point in the plot, but it’s also the most emotional issue for our characters.
Fans of Dennis Hopeless’s acclaimed run on Spider-Woman know he understands the dynamics of mother and child, and his work with Jason Aaron on Sea of Stars demonstrated his insight into how loss informs a family’s legacy, but he takes it to a whole new area in Just Brutal. You can’t miss this one!
