Elaine Choi is the new Bullet, a legacy speedster hero following in the footsteps of her grandfather. A high school student, she is shown here to have a hard time lying to her friends about her adventures as a superhero, keeping her alter ego a secret. Her mom isn't too keen on her adventures, fearing the job will take her daughter like it did her father.
The villain of the story reminds us as much of Captain Cold as Bullet reminds us of his enemy The Flash. A villain with ice gauntlets versus a hero with superspeed. Not that original, but hey I cannot deny it guarantees a nice superhero fight.
The dialogue by Jordan Alsaqa is pretty fluid and the pacing of the story pretty good. The artwork by Nicólas Carrizo is clear, easy to follow, focusing more on storytelling than flashy splash pages which I like. The story feels as old fashioned as it does new. By that I mean they took everything that made Bronze Age comics cool and put them firmly in the environment of today.
