Back In Black (3 of 5)


Halfway through the Black in Black story in ASM #541 by Straczynski and Garney.

I'm still not convinced that Peter will kill anybody and we've seen him act all hardball before to extract info. The story is moving into the final act with the show-down with the Kingpin but it does seem we've seen it all before.

At least JMS referred to a very old issue for the cure for Aunt May. It was also nice to see the Editor's notes referencing those issues. With the cheapness and availability of Essential volumes, many more readers can now go and look them up.

Ron Garney has a simplicity which suits this book (but I still want JR. Jr back) so no complaints there. Just nothing new...

Rating 6/10
