Comic Book Reviews Quickie comic review: Secret Warriors No. 8
Posted By Carlton Hargro on Thu, Oct 1, 2009 at 12:28 PM
Published by Marvel Comics. Written by Jonathan Hickman. Art by Alessandro Vitti.
The Deal: Marvel rolls out the latest issue of its spy-flavored comic, which picks up on a cliffhanger left at the end of Thunderbolts No. 135.
The Verdict: This issue illustrates the pitfalls of crossover stories. I haven't been reading Thunderbolts in awhile (gave up on the book after two issues into Diggles' run), so I was lost as soon as I opened up this comic. Sure, I was able to go back and read the summary page, but ... you know what I'm saying. More than likely, I won't be picking up Thunderbolts , so I'm just losing a chunk of this adventure. Regarding the art, Vitto must be the fill-in guy. He's pretty good, but I was just starting to like Stefano Caselli's pencils (who is returning to the book, by the way). All in all, this issue wasn't a disaster — but not as good as the previous seven.
