They say that before you begin a journey of revenge, you should dig two graves, but Annalise and her robot are going to need a lot more than that. Way more. Even more than you’re thinking. Also in this issue: a guy gets his head punched off! We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us #4 delivers a great mix of action and comedy with a surprise ending that’ll change up the dynamics.

Written by Matthew Rosenberg, We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us #4 features so much of what you’d expect from a comic from Rosenberg. The series as a whole has come off as a love letter to superhero comics and spy tales, especially those that are rather silly in their nature (we’re looking at you James Bond of the 80s). The characters are all larger than life and the action about as subtle as a nuclear explosion.

But, Rosenberg makes sure to make his comics more than just surface level pop-culture entertainment. We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us #4 is an example of that as the relationship between Annalise and her robot protector grows and an introduction at the end adds a level of family drama. Rosenberg gives us characters who are far more than their focus on revenge and far more than creative ways to fight and blow things up. This is a story of a young woman who has had a really messed up family life and isn’t quite accepting of that.

Stefano Landini‘s art continues the blunt fun of the comic delivering both the action and even the drama with an exaggerated glee. With Jason Wordie on color and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, the art continues to be fantastic with a blend of inspiration that creates a world that we want to see more of. Other than one panel where a robot hand looks to be a human hand, the comic’s art has been on point with every issue delivering a frenetic style that perfectly matches the tone of the series’ story.

We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us #4 is another fantastic issue with a blend of concepts and worlds that creates an entertaining series we want to see more of. It’s nailed every single issue with a glee at its over the top aspect of it all but also knows at its core is a family drama that really brings it all together.
