Final Crisis Aftermath: Ink #4 - DC

Well . . I think what happened here is . . Mark thinks he killed Diamond . . one of the Ded Boyz. And . . so do the police. However, I think it was one of his tattoos. At the time though, Mark didn't believe it because . . how could a tattoo act on it's own without him telling it what to do? Well it turns out that there's someone else in control . . a 'Mister S' . . actually, SYNck. He thinks that he's controlling the tattoos, by releasing them, but all he's really doing is allowing them to give in to their true nature. That's why K-Dan is loyal to Mark and helping him, but Altera is on her own agenda. Anyways, last issue a little girl was killed in some cross-fire and now all of Liberty Hill is up in arms. They're mad about these gangs making their home hell, but they're also mad at Mark, the Tattoed Man because he said that he would protect them. They want to know where he's at. So Mark is out there trying to make a difference, and the police have let his son Leon go. He almost gets attacked by the Ded Boyz, but Altera comes to his aid. "I'm Leon's new best friend. You're welcome. Just don't forget to tell your daddy."Anyways, the police come after him, but Mark, with K-Dan's help is like a one-man army. However, after the police are dispatched, someone else steps in to take Mark down . . SYNck. It turns out that this 'Mister S' is actually Mark's brother Devon . . his dead brother. Huh? I'm sure we'll find out more next issue. I really like this series. I think Eric Wallace has put together a great story here. I think this prepares this character to go on to other things after this. He's already an honorary member of the JLA. I also think that Fabrizio Fiorentino is doing a great job with the art. It's vibrant and colorful and fits this story perfectly. Unfortunately there's only 2 issues to go. But that's still a lot of story.
