One of the last treats I got myself, BECAUSE :

Bullseye gets the Hannibal Lecter treatment. It obviously tickles my funny bone. CHECK.

(It’s the second occurence I find!)

Always with the sartorial obession for his costume PLUS Lester doing things with his mouth. (I always find it funny when he doesn’t even need his hands.) CHECK.

Is it fanservice or what? ^_______^ CHECK.

Pin up pause. CHECK.

Adopts a brick. (Yes, that counts.) CHECK.

Just note that the issue doesn’t end well for our gremlin…

Inner Fears

Deathlok II #29

Ho hum.

Flashback/recap issue.

Because it's an INFINITY CRUSADE tie-in nothing actually happens. Both Deathlok and Siege are judged by a disembodied voice. That's basically it. And we get another look at stuff from previous issues. It's all kinda pointless. But the cover is really nice. That's something, I guess.

the cover to Deathlok (1991) #30 by Kevin Kobasic and Greg Adams

[allofthemarvels]

The cover of 1991’s The Punisher #47 has the dubious distinction of being the only Marvel cover I know of with FOUR artist credits: “KK” (presumably assistant editor Kevin Kobasic), “JR SR” (John Romita Sr., almost certainly), Hugh Haynes (who penciled the interior of the issue) and Terry Austin. Operation Desert Storm’s dates were January 17 to April 11, 1991; what we’re seeing here is the Australian printing, but the American edition (with the same cover copy) was cover-dated April, so the cover text would have been VERY current at the time of publication. Interestingly, the letters page includes an ad for 50% off subscriptions purchased for an Operation Desert Storm soldier. Also, what is with the scimitars everybody’s waving around on this cover?

Review: The 99: Sacrifice

The 99: Sacrifice feels like the "After School Special" of the series, which can be good, but this team has told better stories #comics

Within the medium of comics, no one gets death as deftly as sequential art does. Books, can portray a death quite convincingly, describing every detail, as if you were in the room. Movies and tv shows, do it well too, as they show the viewer visually and sometimes not, what occurs. As the death of a beloved character, can make the audience gasp or cheer. This last season of Game Of Thrones, saw…

But now… an unknown enemy is hunting and killing members of THE NINJA PROGRAMME one by one – and NINJAK is next on the list.

Eric Heisserer – the Academy Award-nominated screenwriter of ARRIVAL and Valiant’s upcoming HARBINGER and BLOODSHOT feature films – joins Harvey Award-nominated visionary Raúl Allén (WRATH OF THE ETERNAL WARRIOR) for an all-new Valiant adventure… launching Livewire and an extraordinary new team of heroes into the fight of their lives!

The government has dispatched Amanda McKee – the technopath codenamed Livewire – to investigate the ruins of a secret facility formerly run by Toyo Harada, the most powerful telepath on Earth and her former mentor. In his quest for world betterment at any cost, Harada sought out and activated many potential psiots like himself. Those who survived, but whose powers he deemed to have no value to his cause, were hidden away at this installation. But Livewire, having studied Harada’s greatest strengths and learned his deepest weaknesses, senses opportunity where he once saw failure. A young girl who can talk to birds… A boy who can make inanimate objects gently glow… To others, these are expensive disappointments. But, to Livewire, they are secret weapons…in need of a leader. Now, as a mechanized killer called Rex-O seeks to draw them out, Livewire and her new team of cadets will be forced to put their powers into action…in ways they never could have imagined…

The Visitation

Deathlok II #28

Good.

"...this place is using a transmitter to try and flood the continent."

I like this villain's plan. I even like the villain himself. (He's more interesting here than he was in his first outing.) The art impresses, and Siege continues to make a terrific partner for Deathlok. Had the book continued, I feel the way to go would have been to make them full-time partners. There's strong contrast between them, and lots of story potential. The Luther Manning b-story also has obvious potential. I hope we get to see it realised before the series is cancelled.

The highlight of this issue is Deathlok being rejected by the Goddess. That's some nice storytelling.
