The plot of this issue is, quite simply, all over the place. While there are hints of deeper conspiracies, Simone does a lackluster job of selling the necessity of the Movement as a group, one of several problems with this opening issue. However, while that city is plagued by corruption at every level of its infrastructure, both super powered and not, the worst we see in Coral are a couple of skeevy police officers. This is the heart of the titular “Movement,” a citizen’s army led by super powered teens.Ĭoral City, the fictional city in which our story takes place, is portrayed as a smaller scale Gotham. However, it a way it perfectly captures the angst you would expect from a group of teenagers staring down a world they feel is out to get them. They are not afraid of your badges or Leagues. Let those who abuse the system know this as well: We have our OWN super humans now. When those who are sworn to protect us abuse their power, when toxic government calls down super-human lackeys to force order upon the populace…finally, there is a force, a citizen’s army, to push order BACK. Who defends the powerless against the GREEDY and the CORRUPT? Who protects the homeless and poverty-stricken from those who would PREY upon them in the DARK OF NIGHT?
