    The Good

    Cover- Nice image of our dynamic duo while a spider crawls in the foreground

    Accessibility- The story starts with a brief retelling of our heroes’ origin so new readers can jump right in and enjoy the tale.

    Humour- Nick Spencer has a great sense of humour and this issue has quite a few chuckle worthy moments to break up the sombre mood.

    Dynamic- Cloak and Dagger continue to be pulled in two different directions. Night and day as always, highly amusing to watch this train wreck of a relationship continue to unfold lol

    Art- a very sombre mood is portrayed by Emma Rios art which fits the story well

    The Bad

    Action- Nothing to write home about boys and girls

    Relevance- Just like every other side tale in a company wide crossover this tale has no bearing on the main story whatsoever.

    The Ugly

    3/5

      Wasting no time, Nick Spencer and Emma Rios dive right into the characters of Cloak and Dagger and kick off what could very well become one of the best stories in the duo's history. Admittedly, there's not a huge amount of competition with these two rarely spotlighted characters. but that doesn't take away from the fact that this is a very strong started to their limited series.  Characterization is where it's at with this story. Spencer has a very firm grasp on who Cloak and Dagger are, or at l...
