John Woo's Seven Brothers: The Blood That Runs (Vol. 2) by Ben Raab, Deric Hughes and Edison George.
The first 7 Brothers miniseries was pretty good and it showed the origin of these characters. While the characters don't seem to have any connection, they all have a common ancestor, an ancestor who was a wizard. They each have a different power, one can become a dragon, another one is fast, etcetera. In this collection, we find out a little back story involving Rachel (the sister that got them together), which leads to the back story of the villain.
I like how each issue begins with a flashback and I thought the art was good. However, I thought the story wasn't that good and the comic felt to make me care about what would happen. While they trimmed the characters down (they had three brothers not be able to join on the adventure for personal reasons), they still didn't get to give us a better sense of the characters except for Rachel and the Chief.
With respect to the art, I thought it was very good. The art is very effective in showing us how the powers work. I didn't love how one dragon was drawn, but overall the art was very good.
Not a bad read, but not a great one either.
