A definite improvement over the first arc. The Black Terror seeks out what happened to his old buddy, the American Crusader and what's up with the army of deformed clones wearing the Crusader's costume. I liked the flashback to the 1940's and how it was tied in. The storytelling was much better this go around. Jonathan Lau is certainly talented on the art.

As usual, great artwork. Also as usual, confusing layout and a bit too many word boxes. The Black Terror decides to find out why his old partner the American Crusader has turned into an endless army of undead fighters. This time the story is better, with some interesting flashbacks to WWII. The Black Terror is still a violent psychopath and attempts to humanize him just show that he is aware that he's messed up and it isn't going to stop him.
