    Bikers From Hell - Cool!

    First off, looks like Young Miguel O'Hara got a break this month - hurray! Overall, not a bad story. Seemed like a bit of a Twilight Zone tale - though it lacked that little twist at the end to make you think it was all real. I guess that's the real twist - you expect the twist, but the double-twist is that it was REALLY all in his head. Now, it's up to you, the reader, to play psychoanalyst and figure out what it all symbolizes. An easy bet is that the armored demon is his daddy, Tyler, who's waiting for him when he eventually arrives home. Mig's mind gets some relief in a second chance to save Angela. The bottom line is - Miguel realizes that things seemed tough before, but he's avoiding the truth that things have just gotten harder now that he knows Tyler's his real father - and he can't avoid coming home forever.

    This was an offbeat story. Rather refreshing to get Miguel mixed up in something outside of Alchemax and corrupt corporate manipulations. I'm not sure what to conclude by the end of the story, but it looks like that lady who sprayed him should make his top 10 list of villains, whoever she was!

    The artwork of Roger Robinson was average, although I thought the cover was exceptional. Perhaps it's Jimmy Palmiotti's heavy inking that made the pencils seem crude at times? I'm not sure.
