Dan Wickline Comic Reviews

So I may dock the book for some inconsistent art and the story being a little confusing, but the fact that it tries so hard to feel like the previous books and is still taking on the social and gender issues of the day makes me like this book quite a bit. It is keeping up the tradition of good science-fiction: telling a fun story while also sharing a message that applies to the world today.

John Wick only one issue in, but I think fans of the films will enjoy the comic and the exploration of the universe.

This story may work when all three are together. But as a single issue, there is nothing story wise to make me want to come back. We only see the main character in the Dominatrix costume once in the entire book and even that appearance doesn't make sense. I spent 20 some odd pages trying to figure out what was going on and realizing I didn't care. But I definitely enjoyed the art.

Secret Weapons feels a little bit like the original New Warriors graphic novel crossed with the first issue of Harbinger. The characters are compelling and you get pulled into the story very quickly. Allen's art grounds the book, making it feel more realistic than a normal superhero story. This is the type of book Marvel used to do so well, the group of misfits and rejects pulled together to become heroes. Put this one on your pull list, you won't be disappointed.
