I really like this mini-series. I think this whole story with Mark Richards, the Tattooed Man, is turning out to be very interesting. I think he's a great character. He's trying to follow the path of righteousness . . become a hero, to his family, himself and his community, but . . he's having a hard time balancing it all. "One thing they don't warn you about in hero school, is that the folks you care about are weaknesses the other side can use against you." Which is true, but . . there has to be a way he can keep them all out of harms way, but still be able to live with, and spend time with them. Last issue Slipknot and Cannon came after Mark and his son. But it all started with a drive-by from the Ded Boyz, a local gang. So, after Mark chases them all off, this issue, he turns in his son, Leon, as the killer of Phat Diamond. He knows he didn't do it, because Mark did, but . . in jail, Mark feels like he's safe. Like he won't get caught up in the cross-fire of everything he's trying to do . . be Liberty Hill's protector. Anyways, during all this, Mark's also having problems with his Tats. Some of them seem to be taking on a life of their own. One, Altera, a demon woman, even seems to be coming on to him. Later on, in the process of finding Cannon . . Mark wants to know who hired him, and why . . Cannon is underneath a power plant trying to get charged up. When he starts to talk to Mark, whomever is controlling him takes over like a cheap marionette. Cannon ends up blowing up the facility, but Altera pushes Mark out in time to save his life. What's going on with these powers? Also, while Mark was out looking, the Ded Boyz did another drive-by and killed a young local girl. Now they're all pounding on Mark's door. They want to know what happened to his promise to keep Liberty Hill safe? Eric Wallace is really doing a nice job with this story. He's really drawing the reader into the plight of the main character, and his family. We really feel his frustration, and have compassion for him. And Fabrizio Fiorentino's artwork is just incredible. It really gives the story a fantastic feel. Personally, I'd really like to see more of this character, after this series. He's definitely intriguing.
