Taskmaster #3

There's a really good fusion of artist and writer in this series. MacKay knows exactly how far to push the strangeness of the story. Vitti knows just how far to go with the comic end of it all to keep from overpowering the action. It's very precise chemistry that has served the series well so far. Given this creative team's appeal, it's not hard to imagine this being an ongoing companion to MacKay's Black Cat series. The two titles complement each other. Marvel's heroic villains have always been interesting. Give them the right angle, and they become perfect central characters. Read Full Review

A montage of mimicked superhero moves dug up from his memory is as fitting a visual for his powers as one could imagine, though I do prefer the wit of a more desperate Taskmaster more than the direction he's turned towards. Read Full Review

The fan-favorite skulled mercenary continues his quest to clear his name but comes face to face with some deadly heroes that want want nothing more than to take him down. Read Full Review

While this Taskmaster book continues to try to be funny, its better at telling a fun action comic book. It does a fine job showing some of Taskmasters planning and ingenuity, just wish we saw more of his professionalism. Read Full Review

This is a really good miniseries so far.

Taskmaster's trip to Korea requires some ridiculous superspy gambits to get Amy Han's kinesic signature. It's the good kind of ridiculous, with a perfectly-orchestrated combination of clever planning and unexpected complications delivering plenty of happy surprises. Alessandro Vitti squeezes some nice emotive work into his solid "hooray for gritty details" style.

Taskmaster Volume: 3, Issue; 3 “The Rubicon Trigger, Part: 3” Publisher, Marvel @marvel Writer: Jed MacKay @jedcagemackay Artist: Alessandro Vitti @alessandro_vitti Colors: Guru-eFX Letters: Joe Sabino @joesabinoletterer Cover: Valerio Giangiordano @valeriogiangiordanoart & Arif Prianto @arifprianto.arf With the use of some bootleg Pym Particles, Taskmaster hitches a free ride inside the base of operations of Korea’s official superhero team, Tiger Division. After successfully capturing program director Ami Han’s signature, Taskmaster’s cover is blown as he’s reverted back to normal size. His escape is suddenly interrupted by Black Widow, seeking justice for Maria Hill’s murder. Faking a surrender, Taskmaster activ ates a psychic bomb, knocking out everyone within range. With Black Widow lying unconscious before him, his problems could all be over with a simple thrust of his sword… but determined to do the right thing, Taskmaster leaves a “note” exclaiming his innocence and continues on his mission to clear his name the right way. This is shaping out to be a pretty cool series. I loved his previous volume and this has been right up there with it. I’ve always been a fan of Taskmaster and I’m happy to see the character getting the attention he so rightfully deserves. The entire creative team has been doing a great job.
