About the author
Keith Giffen
1,931 books216 followersKeith Ian Giffen was an American comic book illustrator and writer. He is possibly best-known for his long runs illustrating, and later writing the Legion of Super-Heroes title in the 1980s and 1990s. He also created the alien mercenary character Lobo (with Roger Slifer), and the irreverent "want-to-be" hero, Ambush Bug. Giffen is known for having an unorthodox writing style, often using characters in ways not seen before. His dialogue is usually characterized by a biting wit that is seen as much less zany than dialogue provided by longtime collaborators DeMatteis and Robert Loren Fleming. That approach has brought him both criticism and admiration, as perhaps best illustrated by the mixed (although commercially successful) response to his work in DC Comics' Justice League International (1987-1992). He also plotted and was breakdown artist for an Aquaman limited series and one-shot special in 1989 with writer Robert Loren Fleming and artist Curt Swan for DC Comics.
Giffen's first published work was "The Sword and The Star", a black-and-white series featured in Marvel Preview, with writer Bill Mantlo. He has worked on titles (owned by several different companies) including Woodgod, All Star Comics, Doctor Fate, Drax the Destroyer, Heckler, Nick Fury's Howling Commandos, Reign of the Zodiac, Suicide Squad, Trencher (to be re-released in a collected edition by Boom! Studios)., T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents, and Vext. He was also responsible for the English adaptation of the Battle Royale and Ikki Tousen manga, as well as creating "I Luv Halloween" for Tokyopop. He also worked for Dark Horse from 1994-95 on their Comics Greatest World/Dark Horse Heroes line, as the writer of two short lived series, Division 13 and co-author, with Lovern Kindzierski, of Agents of Law. For Valiant Comics, Giffen wrote XO-Manowar, Magnus, Robot Fighter, Punx and the final issue of Solar, Man of the Atom.
He took a break from the comic industry for several years, working on storyboards for television and film, including shows such as The Real Ghostbusters and Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy.
He is also the lead writer for Marvel Comics's Annihilation event, having written the one-shot prologue, the lead-in stories in Thanos and Drax, the Silver Surfer as well as the main six issues mini-series. He also wrote the Star-Lord mini-series for the follow-up story Annihilation: Conquest. He currently writes Doom Patrol for DC, and is also completing an abandoned Grant Morrison plot in The Authority: the Lost Year for Wildstorm.

Drax the Destroyer #2 carries on straight after the previous book with Drax continuing the running battle with the Blood Brothers! :D At the same time Klyn and Lunatik are up to no good in Coot's Bluff busily enslaving the owners! :D This is handled brilliantly and you can really feel the tension coming off the page! :D Off course what no on has counted on is is Douglas and Cammi! :D This makes for a clever twist as Cammi comes across as completely ruthless which makes you wonder who is the more dangerous individual in the town? :D
Drax the Destroyer #2 has great art throughout that neatly compliments the script that is fast paced and never lets up from the start! :D At the same time the antics of Klyn and Lunatik trying to keep under the Heroes radar is neatly handled and setting everything is such a remote location makes for epic vista's that really go brilliantly with the script! :D
Drax the Destroyer #2 is fact-paced and full of action from the beginning! :D It has relentless quality to it but at the same time is full of world building, character development and world building which uses ruthlessly through in a book full of plot twists and turns you won't see coming! :D Drax the Destroyer #2 is full of action, cunning, grandstanding, epic fight scenes, rib breaking humour, heroics and plot twists :D Brilliant Crisp High Five! :D Get it When You Can! :D

Was not expecting a one-of-a-king unique spin off of Drax. - 2 out of 5 star rating.
One of the core characteristics of Drax is flipped/inverted in this comic. It honestly really throws me off because it is one of the things that really makes the character so much fun for me. On top of that... there is zero explanation. Hard dislike. There's mediocre action and the setting is okay... enough for a 2...

The only complaint I have for this comic is that the aliens sometimes speak in weird ways
