Homecoming #3 Review

 Homecoming centers around a group of teens who have mysteriously returned after a ten year absence. A young girl name Celeste is the focal character of the story and she has been reunited with her mother, Carla. It's also revealed that in the strange vanishing from before Carla was caught up in it as well so the reunion is a very emotional moment for the both of them.

Elsewhere in the book another teen endowed with strange powers is Paul, and as any young adult male would do he tries out for the football team with his new skills. The two stories connect once Celeste heads off to school and the group of students hang in the cafeteria.

Celeste is broken from the group after receiving a phone call from her mother to come home immediately. She finds Carla passed out on the floor as an assault from the alien beings known as Strikers ensues. Celeste eventually handles the threat, but passes out and finds herself trapped inside of a glass tank with her own mother putting her there.

David Wohl and Emilio Laiso feel like the perfect team on a book like Homecoming. Wohl really handles the personalities of each teen well and you feel the emotion between Celeste and her mom when they are first reunited and the twist at the end becomes that much harder to watch. Laiso gets to have a lot of fun with the Striker aliens and handles the quieter moments of the teens sitting around at a table with ease. This issue was just a lot of big fun and had a great twist ending that entices anyone reading to come back for the next issue.
