Some thoughts about One-Star Squadron #3

Is this the end for Red Tornado?

Reddy has been trying to help his employees all this time but he will soon realize he's the one who needs help the most once his bosses decide to involve him in a new meeting.

Getting better and better.

Mark Russell delivers a new chapter where he explores more about the whole setting in which this story is centered around. While the last chapter dealt with a more personal topic, this issue focuses on the idea of corporations and how they don't care at all about the people who work for them, there's the classic inhumane aspect that is so prevalent in stories like these (especially in the ones written by Garth Ennis) mixed with the classic satirical execution that is so prominent in Russell's works. It was also great to see how Superman's nobility contrasts perfectly with the cold and calculating boardroom, is all very nicely handled.

That's not to say that there are character-centric scenes since Red Tornado also gets some of the spotlight here once that his job seems in peril and this devolves in a scenario in which he sees himself like the people he has been trying to motivate all this time. It presents the typical sympathetic and human themes that you can expect from the writer.

Steve Lieber's artwork is perfect here because it shows both the comedic and concerned expressions of the characters perfectly while depicting the script as clear as possible.

Great read, if things continue this way Russell might have another winner here.
