    Nice Origin

    I like the fact that Luke Cage is from the streets, and that his adventures and beginnings revolve around that.

I would even go so far to say that I would read a short mini series on Shades & Comanche, along with a mini series envolving Cage's days with Stryker.

    The comic is a nice beginning, and even engulfs people with its opening title, "Out of Hell---A Hero".
