A Quick Look At The Twelve no.2-4

Well,okay,the first issue had an intimation that The Dynamic Man might be a “closet gay”.  He even succumbed to knock out gas.  Anyone tell Straczynski that The Dynamic Man is an android –looks like he may have gotten confused with Harry A. Chesler’s character.

 

 

But what do we have in store in future issues?  Let’s see what they say at Marvel.com.

Note:Hmm…oh dear. Are they really going to drag out this “Hi –guess where I’ve been for 63 years?”  This is hype for a comic? Sheesh!  But,please,more ****** zombies?!  CUT THE STRING!!

 

THE TWELVE no.4

 

COVER BY: KAARE ANDREWS

WRITER: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI

PENCILS: CHRIS WESTON

INKS: GARRY LEACH

COLORED BY: CHRIS CHUCKRY

LETTERED BY: COMICRAFT

 

 

THE STORY:

As the savage murders continue, and members of the Twelve come under a cloud of suspicion, tensions flare, and hero faces off against hero! Plus, the unbelievable origin of underground secret agent Rockman!

 

 

Rated T+ …$2.99

IN STORES: April 2, 2008

 

 

Note:Well,we know how Underground Secret Agent originated.  Are we going to get Golden Age origins “re-[un]imagined”?   I know companies have to keep these things short but this is not setting me alight!  In fact,apart from changing origins and “savage murders” this sounds like standard super hero fodder.  I’m just hoping that the series will not have to rely on the art to carry it through.

But,let’s not be too negative…we can try?
