Review – Frenemy of the State #4
Frenemy of the State has been a fun read and the fourth issue is no exception. It’s not perfect, but it’s that key thing, fun and keeps on improving. Frenemy of the State #4 which was written by Christina Weir, Nunzio DeFilippis and Rashida Jones and art by Jeff Wamester picks up with Ariana in hot pursuit of the nuke.
Ariana’s two worlds have now officially collided! Her life in shambles because of her cover story, Ari gets a surprise from her mother that may prevent her from taking part in her mission. Oh, and did we mention the nuclear bomb?
There’s great entertainment with Ariana having to balance her two lives. It’s not like she can tell her family, which forces her to look unstable. She also knows the people she has to deal with and uses that to her advantage.
And there’s a great sense of “girl power” here, which is nice to see. Action, mixed with humor, the series has matured nicely, and hopefully we continue to see improvement as issues continue coming.
