Reviews

[Zintulo Deyuno · Rating 3 out of 5]

Según la portada, el comic se llama MAVERICK A LA SOMBRA DE LA MUERTE
Según el interior, el título del one-shot es La espada cantó en un brezal maldito.

[Matt · Rating 3 out of 5]

Basically a popcorn action flick in comic book form. The artwork is dark and chaotic, which gives the story a unique vibe that is different from similar action-heavy fare of the era, most of which had artwork influenced by the style of '90s Image comics.

Número especial con grapas pero ISBN. Historia que sirve de puente entre tramas de la serie de Wolverine y la serie regular de Maverick que se publicaría poco después.

[Rachael · Rating 5 out of 5]

The mutant Maverick is in the final stages of the terminal Legacy Virus, but he must escape the super soldier Omega Red once more...

The story is largely one big chase scene, with some brutal flashbacks during the lulls in the action. It's also a story with a very touching ending.

Creo que nunca leí "Lobezno: Estado de Gracia", que es de donde deriva esta historia pero sí Factor Vol.II #28, que también le daba contexto y Maverick #1, que era la regular que le seguía. Tendría que encontrar todos los números (más Estado de gracia) para releerme este especial que recuerdo bastante interesante.

Especial X-Men dedicado a Maverick. Podría considerárselo como prólogo a su serie regular.
