Preservation of the Warrior
If you remove what makes you human, what will be left remaining? Rage, anger, bloodlust? Carter Hall was beginning to understand his actual life, teaching at St. Roch University (it was so cool watching this Indiana Jones side of him), getting more close to Kendra (allowing her to live a life of her own, becoming her friend), but after his encounter with the Headhunter, everything is changed, now there´s no room for the educated man, not it can only exist the warrior, the being whose thirst for action and violence is bigger than all that he holds precious - this is the turning point of this series, where Johns removed all that made Carter an intelligent and cultured man, replacing all of that with pure rage and I believe this will be an interesting change for this book, unleashing all of the raw force that´s Carter made of, especially because Rags Morales is very confortable in doing action and battle scenes, like the ones showed in this issue - this was a very good story, perhaps one of the best arc stories of this series so far, displaying excellent dialogues, a good performance by Kendra and an amazing twist in Carter´s life - plus the awesome art of Rags Morales is a bonus, he´s very solid (except for some Kendra´s faces), especially in the battle panels - I have a feeling I´ll like this berseker Carter!
