Deathblow #5 - WildStorm


This issue is basically the aftermath of last issue. You know the one where his kids went in to their toy chest and brought out semi-automatic weapons. Anyways, I guess when he was attacked, he went into super-soldier mode. Basically turned off everything. Except the response to the threat. It turns out that the kids. . . weren't his kids. Duh!! Actually they weren't even kids. According to Mister Jiminy, the dog that's been talking to Mike, "Johnny was 52 years old. Martha was 47." He also tells him, " . . . during the cold war? The governors did a lot of creepy experiments. You ever meet a talking dog before?" Anyways the cops found the scene. But there wasn't much to make of it. Just blood everywhere. But then Mister Jiminy shows up and drops a cell phone. Only it's not. Actually it's a flash grenade to destroy all the evidence. The problem is, he didn't get there before the cops did. So now he has to take him to the rest of his operatives, also canine, to try to find a place for him to hide. We also see General Ruckus talking to Ivana. It seems that he knows about everything. The kids. The talking dog. Everything. So now they just have to figure out what they're going to do to clean up this whole mess. Cool story by Brian Azzarello. And I wasn't sure about Henry Flint's inks over Carlos D'Anda's pencils, last issue. But now . . . . I gotta say I like the result. This is a cool character, and I like what they're doing with him.
