dtschemmel's The Phantom Stranger #5 - Noble Vengeance review

    Avatar image for dtschemmel

    Lets just say..

    Lets just get this out there, LOOK AT THIS COVER. This is even better than the Phantom Stranger #4.

    The Good: Okay, so basically you get to figure out who The Spectre is. Which is a great thing. Coming into this I swore Doctor Doom was in this comic. I was sadly mistaken. Another good thing is that you get to see who the third guy is that was with Stranger and Pandora. Im interested to see who he is and what he can do, because overall he looks like a great character.

    The Bad: Honestly there was only minor issues with this comic. I didn't like the fact that Phantom and Spectre argue like 5 y/o in front of the "the dog". And that is basically it.

    Overall: It was a very solid issue and the cover is great. Only minor issues. I can see this title being a strong running titles in The New 52. I would definitely recommend this as a must have series. If not, you're missing out.

    The Verdict: 5/5 10/10 Any ranking system you have, this should be perfect.

Luckily, that story came around sooner, and the story in this issue is interesting as the The Phantom Stranger and...

      God damn DC... you sons of bitches putting Jae Lee on cover duties... Last issue and this one I was far more excited about this series than I should be. The massively eye-catching blue background has an eerie contrast to the genuinely disturbing and creepy image of The Phantom Stranger with The Spectre climbing out of his face, (ironic considering who eats whom in the issue.) It's just amazing.But the interior art.... I normally really like Philip Tan, but he's working off of initial pencils of ...
