Sure, they finnaly resurect Apocalypse, and now he won't show up till year 2000! Oh well, I can wait. Joe Casey's the new guy on the comic (first DeZago, then Robinson, now Casey!). Ladronn is also kinda new (he's already been through two writers). His art is a lot like Kirby's. I haven't decided if I like it yet... Well, on with the show. They've got an interesting new charactor in this Irene Merryweather, but I'm still waiting for Domino's return. The story was pretty good. The Hellfire Hunt thing was getting a bit too long though. Casey wraped it up pretty good. I just hope they don't try to fool us about Pierce's "death." I HATE when they ressurect dead guys! So, to wrap up, "Beautiful Friend" gets **1/2, 'cause I've seen better out of Ladronn, and I don't want to wait 2 years just to see Apocalype again!
Ladronn has certianly put on a better show this ish. His art is better than the last issue. He didn't do to bad drawing Black Pather. Speaking of whom, where did he get all that cool techno stuff, and who built it? Anyway, that Klaw guy was kinda funky. That part where he blew up in the vaccum chamber was cool (why did they have that thing?). "Jungle Action" gets a full *** for the better art.
OOOhhh, Domino is back! I assume you know that much from the cover, so let me elaborate. Dom's apperance was short and awkward. She's been different since her, y'know, "unnececary surgery". When I said I wanted to se Domino back, I meant the OLD Dom. I like her better. I liked the return of Blaquesmith, though. Well, to rate, "Wiser Times" will get ***, 'cuz it's good.
Yet another villan dies within the pages of this humble comic. First Pierce (he'll be back), then Klaw (he won't), and now Blockade (not sure 'bout him). Sheesh, who's next? Anyway, the art. Sadly to say, I like this Ryan Benjamin better than Ladronn (sorry Ladronn fans, but that's the way I feel). I am taking a shining to the regular team, but this was a refresing break. OK, the story. It was pretty good. In fact, I'll give "Bloodrite" ***. Goodbye to Domino *sniff*
Rama-Tut is such a LOOSER! I mean, what a moron! What's this guys problem? Sheesh! About the story: it wasn't bad. It had Blaquesmith and all. And the backwards story thingie was unique (I think... for a comic anyway. There was that Sienfield...) Anyway, "Mometary Lapse" gets ***.
