Sistem yang ada kadang tidak melindungi mereka yang membutuhkan, sehingga mereka harus berdiri di luarnya... menentangnya... Mereka adalah Strykeforce. Stryker mantan prajurit khusus pemerintah, Tia Katana petarung dan pemain pedang yang sangat tangguh, Anvil sosok mengerikan berhati lembut dengan kekuatan yang tidak mungkin dirobohkan, Sly gadis imut yang dapat menyelinap ke mana pun dengan kemampuannya menghilang, Killawatt generator listrik berjalan yang selalu memiliki listrik untuk menyengat lawan-lawannya, serta Lift maestro penipuan. Dengan muslihat dan kemampuan telekinetik, satu di antara mereka adalah bagian dari sistem yang memburu dan tak perlu membiarkan mereka menolong yang lemah.
Top Cow's original 1994 Codename: Strykeforce series by comics superstars Marc Silvestri and Brandon Peterson combines with the 2003 Strykeforce series from writer Jay Faerber and rising artistic star Tyler Kirkham in this massive paperback.
Stryke Force feels like a clumsy attempt to combine X-Men, Suicide Squad, and the A-Team, but it sadly fails miserably. The characters aren’t particularly interesting, with the exception of Killawatt, whose story was woefully undeveloped. The artwork started strong but by the second half of the book it really went down hill. And the villains were just plain silly (in particular Death Angel, who probably would have been too cheesy for a 1960s Batman comic).
Stunning art, the story isn't nearly as strong. The back-up reprint of Codename: Strykeforce would be better, if it wasn't for the "blurred" (read: poorly digitized) pages. So very 90's, even when done in the 21st century.
