This first issue spends the majority of its time in the ordinary human world, allowing readers to become acquainted with main protagonist Bonnie as she comes to grips with her impending death and all the uncertainty that comes with it. Sure, it would be worth paying $3.99 just to see Capullo drawing dragons and ax-wielding barbarians, but that there's actual depth to the story is certainly a nice bonus. That blend of opposing elements is what gives the book its charm. So it is that Reborn manages to be both a quiet, intimate meditation of humanity's fear of death and an epic sword and sorcery adventure.
In the Reborn universe, death isn't the end, but merely a stepping point into a new plane of existence where the reincarnated battle ogres and dragons. In trademark Millar fashion, Reborn features a high concept made accessible through a summer blockbuster approach.
