Furious #4
-
The good
Intriguing twist with Furious and Perfidia. Story progression is a great set up for answering the biggest questions in the series so far.
-
The bad
Perfidia reiterating her desire to destroy Furious almost made appear one-dimensional. Expected more of a direct confrontation this issue

The ugly

- Total score
Furious #4 starts off with Cadence being unable to accept the fact that the owner of a convenience store she was just at was murdered, and since she blames herself for not stopping it, she does what she’s accustomed to doing and that’s taking out her frustration on some perps. However this time she’s taking it out on the wrong people, the two boys who were in the store with her, and she’s giving them no quarter despite their repeated efforts to convince her they weren’t involved. Luckily the detective investigating the homicide appears on the scene and he’s the calmest out of the 4 parties as he tries to get Furious to stop amidst the pleas of one of the boys to shoot her. And her stance that they were in the store prior to the murder is dismissed by the detective because the video tape was reviewed and they were not only clean but also witnesses to the one who did commit the crime. He describes the one who did murdered the clerk to her and how it’s related to a string of brutal murders he’s been investigating. The detective might be on her side now as he empathizes with her situation but neither of them are aware that Furious does have a connection to the woman who’s committing the murders, and the latter is ready to unveil her plan to confront Furious and destroy her life. But what is the true connection between the two to the point there would be so much anger, and can Furious survive this latest trap?
SUMMARY
Furious #4 is another solid issue with some engrossing moments and exciting twists that not only make this issue entertaining but keeps the eagerness for what’s to come next very high. I would have wanted to see more in the way of a direct confrontation finally but the set up here makes it seem as if even more will be resolved, at least for now, than just the two with a shared past facing off. And I can truly appreciate the story that Bryan Glass has woven because he has been successful in this unique take on a classic superhero dilemma.
