The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of ESCAPE
FROM NEW YORK #5 from BOOM! Studios. The story is written by Christopher Sebela,
with art by Diego Barreto, colors by Marissa Louise and lettering by Ed Dukeshire.
Snake Plissken has been dumped in the middle of Siberia
and an ongoing dogfight. Circumstances (and the desire to survive) have him
reluctantly joining the U.S. Forces…until he can find a way out of there. When
the team gets back to base just in time to be briefed about the current situation
in America and what Russia may be planning to do. Plissken is ready to leave,
but little does he know there is a bullseye on him. There is a reason why he
was stranded here…
Sebela
does a very good job not only capturing Snake’s attitude, but expanding the
world that John Carpenter created in the classic cult film. Diego Barreto and
Marissa Louise team up to create a striking visual that's pretty action-packed...almost cinematic. All-in-all, this has been a pretty fun and interesting series so far.
ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK #5 is in stores now, or available
for ordering at www.boom-studios.com.
