Some thoughts about Freedom Fighters #4

Freedom is not over.

Despite of all the years that have passed, Uncle Sam is ready to return and not even the worst forces of the Ratzis will stop that.

This story continues and shows even more interesting points.

Robert Venditti offers a new installment where he keeps developing the rise of the Freedom Fighters. Once again, I like the idea that the group is being treated as terrorists from the Ratzis perspectives which creates a pretty compelling scenario. We also learn more about a few members while the return of Uncle Sam plays a pretty important role concerning escalation and symbolism.

That being said, I have to admit that the antagonists continue to be one of my favorite parts of the story (Hope that doesn't sound like I sympathize with Nazis because I sure as hell don't). As I mentioned before, the dynamic between the original Fuhrer and his son initially showed a pretty complex relationship because the son apparently cared about his father despite of being a terrible person. This is even further explored now that he has become the new Fuhrer due that he has to deal with a new level of responsibility, showing how subdued he actually is and this contrasts even more once that his own son is introduced who is a full blown psychopath and is bound to become a major antagonist here.

Eddy Barrows handles the art and is once again pretty solid from a storytelling and character perspective but I must say that at times he makes the cast overreact a bit too much.

Good read overall, hope the next one arrives soon.
