The adventures of two bickering sisters aged 7 and 13 (inspired apparently by Bendis' own kids) Takio is a delighful action adventure superhero thing that's as light, fun and bouncey as a room full of balloons. With artwork from his Powers buddy Michael Avon Oeming who refines his style slightly to something that feels a little more sophisticated with brighter colours that make it pop off the page - whilst retaining his crazy kenetic energy - and not forgetting Bendis' now trademark quick-fire whip-smart banter dialogue this is comic book that people of all ages can embrace. My only complaint? It's all over much too soon - especially when the set-up begs for a whole full-blown series... So guys - if you get a chance - could you write a few more books of this please? Thanks.
