Masterful noir style action romp with a blend of Nostalgia
Scans and summary can be seen here
The Good
Story- I thought the story had a nice pace. There was enough exposition for the story to be established yet not so much that it reminded you of the 90’s when exposition was crammed down your throat. I liked the added touch of authenticity the tale itself added to the timeline, the characters and situations fit perfectly into the 1930’s without feeling forced or contrived. David Liss tells a masterful noir style action romp with a blend of Nostalgia that works magic!
Art- The art carried the established David Liss in comics’ vibe of Noir yet the art was far stronger than the Black Panther man without fear comic by leaps and bounds. Artist Patrick Zircher does work that can only be described as perfect! It captures every nuance of the time frame and pulls you back in time to experience the wonders, the horror and the triumph of this
Revenant- I love the mystery surrounding the character and his abilities, a black superhero in the 1930’s? Oh the controversy!
The Bad
The Operative- Our protagonist takes nods from Robin Hood with his rob the rich tale but unlike previous ‘archetypical characters’ he lacks a certain charm and charisma.
The Ugly
4/5 Solid
