I spend a lot of time and money buying and reading comics. Most of the time I'm happy with my choices, sometimes not. I'm hoping,that with my reviews on what I've read, I might spare someone else dissapointment. I'll read anything, but I can't afford everything. If there's something you'd like for me to read, let me know. If you take the time to read this, please, take the time to let me know what you think. I may not agree with you, or you may not agree with me. But, so what. That's life.

A Man Called Kev #2 - Wildstorm
I love the way Garth Ennis writes stories. Last issue Kev was basically kicked out of the country, and his mate Bob was butchered. But, we didn't really get a clear picture of what was going on. So this issue Kev ends up in California, or somewhere there abouts, and finds his buddy Danny. Well through the course of their catching up, we learn a lot about them, the different arms of the military that they served, and what a freckle is. You don't want to know. Then they run across a news transmission on the internet from England about Bob being killed, and the M.I.5 guy that kicked Kev out being decapitated. That's when all the pieces start to click together for Kev. He realizes that it was a mission in the Gulf War that they all saw something they shouldn't have. The problem is, he's the only one left. And with him staying with Danny and Zoe, that puts them on the radar also. Again, this is what I like about Garth writing, we get all this info piece by piece out of their conversations together. We don't have to be spoon fed anything. He puts bits of it here and there, and as you're reading, it all starts coming together. I also like Carlos Ezquerra's art. It really fits this story guite well. The look on Kev's face after he smokes 3 joints with Zoe is priceless.
