Mystery in Space #2 - DC

Cool book. Cool character. Fantastic creative team. This book reminds me so much of early Image. I think I mentioned that in the blog for issue #1. It reminds me of back when the art was good. The stories weren' t so hot. But the art was good. But this book, Jim Starlin really knows how to craft a tale. He hasn't done as much stuff of late, as he has in the past,so you kinda' forget about how good he really is. But then he puts something out, like this, and you are just blown away. Add to that Shane Davis on art, and I am just knocked out. Props to the boys!!!! Anyways, yes Captain Comet was dead at the end of last issue. And yes he's alive this issue. Apparently his body regenerated and came back to life. And in the process knocked off about 40 years. And by the way, I love his talking bull dog, Tyrone II. Very clever, a good character, and a great companion. So, in order to solve this mystery of his death and rebirth, he needs to get ahold of his old body, so maybe it can give him some clues. But of course, it's gone. So now the real mystery and chase begins. And if I know Jim Starlin, it'll be a doozy. Now as a backup feature we have one of Jim's other characters, whom he created, the Weird. And on these pages he writes and draws. Fantabulous!!! Now since the Weird came back at Hardcore Station, where Comet happens to live, he dropped the Captain part since he's younger now, I don't think it's a coincidence. I think that the Weird's story, and Comet's, are somehow intertwined, in a way that we just can't see yet. But the Weird's story is neat in that the last place he was incarnated was on earth. So not only does he have to acclamate himself to his new body and ressurection, but also to his surroundings and world. A lot of stuff to take in, for a dead guy. But anyways, in typical Starlin fashion, the story is filled with all kinds of weird aliens, robots and future tech. This one will also be a fun ride. It'll be neat to see how these two stories catch up to each other, and what they have to do with each other. My only critique is that this is only an 8 issue series. Say it isn't so!!!
