Some thoughts about Dial H for Hero #4

The H-Dial needs to be protected no matter what,

Miguel and Summer have arrived to the forgotten Justice League Detroid headquarters and the also forgotten Snapper Carr will be the only one who can help them there.

This story continues and it's still pretty entertaining in its own approach.

Sam Humphries delivers a new installment where he continues to progress the story while delivering more comic book tropes and I mean that in every sense of the word. From the early pages where Robby Reed, the original owner of the H-Dial, starts talking to himself while at the same time acknowledging that fact is pretty much what you can expect from Humphries' writing, it tries to be self-aware but at the same time, this doesn't stop the whole thing from being a bit awkward, at the very least it serves the purpose of showing how lonely Robby has been since he gained his new position.

The story itself moves appropriately by showing obscure aspects of the DCU history including the Justice League Detroit (which I guess means that particular part of the continuity is back) and Snapper Carr who also gives us a bit more of insight about past events. The way how the powers of the H-Dial are explored continues to be entertaining thanks to the inclusion of Frank Miller's Sin City parodies and a superhero who is a homage of multiple comic strip characters.

Joe Quinones handles the art and is really good looking as usual thanks to the semi-cartoony style and creative storytelling.

Good read overall, hope the next one is even better.
