She’s been a Renegade, she’s been a defender of Unity, and now, with new digs and a new identity, Faith Herbert is ready to be herself. Valiant’s pluckiest psiot gets her own limited series courtesy of Jody Houser, Francis Portela and Marguerite Sauvage, and her first foray into solo stardom proves to be a blast of fresh, companion field-fueled air.
Leaving behind the doom and gloom of past misadventures, writer Houser redirects Faith – sometimes known as Zephyr –to the sun spun hills of Los Angeles. Serving as a mild-mannered click-bait journalist by day and an aspiring solo hero by other-parts-of-day, this first issue carries a definite lightness to it that’s reflected both in Houser’s zippy, pop-culture laden script and Portela’s beaming lines. While that same lightness can at times read too on the nose – Faith’s one heroic excursion is so perfectly Faith that it’s almost distractingly so – the issue is quick to present enough real world conflict to keep things grounded. Whether its Faith dealing with the fallout of leaving her former team, and boyfriend, behind, or the unnerving subplot involving psiots on the run, the read has depth to it beyond Faith’s reinvention.
