Bullet Points Series (#1-5)

Writer- J. Michael Straczynski
Illustrated- Tommy Lee Edwards
Letterer- John Workman


Breakdown-
Let me start off with the description has posted for the trade that will coming out in June " World War II. America needs a super soldier. Only one man possesses the formula to create the perfect fighting machine from volunteer Steve Rogers. But when a deadly bullet kills Dr. Erskine along with his bodyguard, M.P. Ben Parker, Steve's destiny – and that of the Marvel Universe – is changed forever."

 
I really enjoyed this series, each issue opens with a little recap to show what has changed as of that one bullet.  Which is a nice touch to begin each issue.  As the story go's on it's really interesting to read everything that comes out of it and figure who's going to be who.  I might add it has a great ending that had me counting the days until the last issue.  It has somewhat of a "Marvels" feel to it, linking a bunch of stories together type of thing.  As for the art i really enjoyed looking seeing each scene and i feel it really added to the story.  Edwards has a cool painting style, i guess you could call it.  I really enjoyed it.  For a scale of 1/10 review

Story-
10/10 I thought the ideas were awesome, and i really looked forward to each issue and seeing what changed next.

Writing-
8/10 I did like the writing, especially at the beginnings of each one

Cover-
8/10 Every cover has the same theme to it, showing the costume version of the person in a large picture behind the person themselves, they look great as a collection.

Art-
10/10 I loved this art, i do comic illustrations myself for fun and this is a really cool painting kind of style i guess, i really liked how Edwards had his own grasp on each character.

Overall-
8/10  I really enjoyed seeing everything change and i thought it was a lot of fun to read.
