The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of CAPTAIN
MIDNIGHT #20 from Dark Horse Comics. The story is written by Joshua Williamson,
art by Michael Broussard, colored by Javier Mena, and lettered by Nate Piekos
of Blambot.
Realizing that there are too many threats right now,
Captain Midnight decides to do a fact finding mission to decide where his top
priority should be. He “recruits” Helios for a dangerous mission…to infiltrate
a Project Black Sky facility and hack into their system to obtain information.
Sounds easy in theory, but it won’t be. Will Midnight be able to get the
information he needs? And where will it lead him; provided he can escape
Project Black Sky’s grasp?
I’ve become a big fan of writer Joshua Williamson over
the last couple of years, and this book is one of the reasons. It’s not a grim
or gritty superhero book; it’s better than that. The book is a nice combination
of adventure, intrigue and action. I’m ready to see Project Black Sky be more
proactive (like they have in the webcomic); and the events of this issue may make
that happen. I’m also ready to see the Dark Horse heroes join forces to battle
this threat. Hopefully that will happen in the not too distant future.
CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT #20 is in stores now, or available for
ordering at www.darkhorse.com.
