In an action-packed issue, there’s often a bit less to scrutinize at the end of the month. Edison Rex #4 is no different, as the fight sequence between Edison Rex and Defiant (basically a Bizarro version of Valiant) dominated most of the book, leaving wreckage and the need for a new beginning in its wake.Writer and Monkeybrain Comics co-publisher Chris Roberson, as ever, joined us to discuss this month’s issue.This is a SPOILER-FILLED interview, so buy this comic and read along with us.So–this issue is a lot less talky than the first few. Not that those felt slow, but this one just breezes by. Was that a question of just needing to establish Edison’s world before you could careen headlong into action?It’s more a matter of shifting gears occasionally. We’ve tended to alternate action-heavy stories (like issues #2 and #4) with more dialogue-focused stories (like issues #1 and #3). You’ve got to keep a varied diet, you know! I like pizza, but wouldn’t want to have it at every meal.With his base trashed and a way into Valiant’s place, will Edison be changing scenery?There are hints in the text pieces in the back of issue #4 that Edison has already been thinking along those lines, and in issue #5 we’ll see what he has in mind.
