Danger Girl - Body Shots #1 - WildStorm


Why, in the last couple of years, has JScott Campbell not done any of the Danger Girl books. All the one shots and minis that have come out, and he hasn't pencilled any of them. It's not like he's doing something else. He's not even doing Sliderz any more. Or . . . if he is . . . he's taking an awful long time between books. But, since Andy Hartnell is writing all of them, they all have the same, and right feel to them. This is a franchise that I just feel that they could be doing so much more with. We've been getting like 1 or 2 books a year. I mean come on. Let us see our girls in action, a little more consistently. Or at least, more often. Nick Bradshaw does the pencils this issue. And, while he's no JScott Campbell, he does seem like he's having fun with these characters. I do like the feel that he's giving the book, artistically. He's got a very nice style, and his frame sequences are spot on. Everything flows very nicely. This time they're after a device called the "master key". Basically it can unlock any technology anywhere in the world. So whoever controls the key . . . . could control the world. So . . . they've been charged with getting it back. And of course they're going to come across the usual array of bad-guys doing so. But this is #1 of 4, so we're really just beginning our story. And regardless of whether or not JScott Campbell is on board, this should prove to be a fun ride.
