Bullseye Greatest Hits #1
Publisher: Marvel
Comics
Writer: Daniel
Way
Artist: Steve
Dillon
The cover on this book is not pretty. Mike Deodato lately has not
drawn the costumed folk to well. It almost steered me away from picking
this book up. Luckily it was a preview copy otherwise I would have
passed it by. Not that it’s a great read, but it isn’t
too bad. Welcome to a little insight into what makes Bullseye the
dastardly fellow he is (I used dastardly to see if you all were paying
attention). Bullseye is incarcerated in a secret prison after escaping
and destroying from the week previous. While out, he got his hands
on some nukes and he seems to have a plan for them. It’s up
to Special Agent Baldry and Special Agent Hoskins to find out why,
and that lead us into a telling of Bullseye’s childhood. It
seems that an abusive home life can push a person in so many different
directions, but unfortunately it seems that the cliché pushes
one to become a super villain. This cliché would almost make
the book a ho hum read, if it weren’t for a little twist at
the end. Not much of one but the story backed up by Steve Dillon’s
art helps to sell it and make the book an OK read. It’s nothing
special, but a good start for a mini series. It’s nice to see
Bullseye get treated a little better than over in the “Identity
Disk” (don’t worry I’ve got a couple of things to
say about that title in my next batch of reviews). In all it’s
not bad, but not wonderful, the art makes it a little better than
average. -KEVIN-

Y: The Last Man #26
Publisher: DC Comics Vertigo Imprint
Writer: Brian K.
Vaughan
Pencils: Pia
Guerra
Inks: Jose
Marzan Jr.
Hero’s Journey- This is a stand alone issue that, although I
am fairly new to the series, seems that it will have a great deal
of importance. Hero is the sister of Yorick, the story’s protagonist.
It seems a plague has wiped out most of the creatures on the earth
carrying a Y chromosome, except Yorick and possibly a few others.
Y: The Last Man is his story, and Hero seems to want find Yorick,
pretty badly, and it may not be because she misses him. This issue
gives the reader insight as to how Hero got to this point in her life.
So far being new to this series, it shows a lot of promise, although
I know that I have missed out by not catching the first two years
worth. Brian K. Vaughn has written some really good stuff (Runaways
and Ex Machina for example). Based on my like for those books, I decided
to give this title a try, and at this point am intrigued. It takes
a little while to get into what is going on but once you do it’s
worth it. The art by Geurra isn’t overly complicated, so it
does not distract the reader from the story. In fact it compliments
the story nicely. This is a book that is going to be one I follow
for a while to see what develops. If you want to invest the time,
I think it will be worth it. -KEVIN-
