Shanna the She-Devil - Survival of the Fittest #2 - Marvel


This book kind of reads like an Indiana Jones movie. You know . . . one harrowing situation after another. Palmiotti and Gray have teamed up for another story. And Khari Evans does the art. The artwork is ok. It's not fantastic. But the buxomy Shanna is incredible. Meowww!! This issue, in trying to get the guys away from the Chinese pirates that are hunting them, Shanna leads them into a cave that ends up being a lost Nazi city. Or stronghold, or something. Anyways, the whole city is made of gold. The problem they have though, is that apparently the Nazi's were doing some kind of genetic research down there, so there's a whole bunch of very large, very strong, lumbering neanderthals that live in the city now. And they make pretty short work of their much smaller and weaker modern descendants. They leave some of them alive. Most notably the women. Which when Shanna starts flirting with them, they immediately begin fighting amongst themselves. The rest of the guys that are alive are in a gladiator pit, getting ready to fight for their lives against some sabre-tooth tigers. Having come across them, of course, Shanna has to jump in to the mix. Which is where the story ends. On a cliff-hanger. You really don't have to know much about Shanna to get in to the story. And the guys that she's helping, are actually pirates themselves. So, the lesser of 2 evils I guess. So it'll be interesting to find out what happens when Shanna finds out that they aren't honorable men either. I'm not quite sure how this one's going to end. But that's the fun of it. Right?
