- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Midas Flesh, which turns everything it touches—and everything touching that—into gold, is now on the loose, and as the villainous Federation and the reckless rebels fight for control, it becomes increasingly clear that this weapon is just too big for anyone to survive. There’s really only one way that things can end—but can they begin again? It’s hard to imagine finishing this premise without some letdown, but it’s quite a dramatization of “violence begets violence.”
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5So what do you do if you have a bonkers plot with an accordingly bonkers conclusion? I don't know why I was expecting something more believable...maybe I'll change my rating once I've thought it over some more.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I enjoyed the quirky tone and wild concept in the first volume, but all the fun disappears once the terrorism and genocide kicks in as the flesh of King Midas is weaponized. It's all dark, bleak, nasty, and yet the characters are still quipping. Things get so far out of control, the ending has to be straight-up deus ex machina and a reboot of the entire universe. Ugh.
