CAPTAIN AMERICA AND BATROC #1

The phone rings. The voice speaks. They want you to fight Captain America. Again. The man who beat you before. The man who you know will beat you again. What can you say? You say “Yes”. Batroc: Traceur shows why and takes you every step of the road he walks. It’s time to meet the man behind the greatest moustache in the Marvel Universe. Yeah, Stark. You heard.

    BATROC! WHY ARE THERE NOT MORE PULLS!?

  2. Franktiger Franktiger says:

    Arlem, yes.

  3. I might get this since my week is light.

    I sure hope Batroc is a serious choice for Thunderbolts btw.

    Maybe he can finally beat Cap if he goes up against Bucky Cap!

    Wasn’t even going to give this a second look, but that solicit really got my attention. It IS a great moustache…

  6. Urthona Urthona says:

    Batroc here and Penguin in Dark Knight.  My kinda week.

  7. This was a pretty solid one-shot. Gillen had a good voice for Batroc and I liked the theme of ‘honor’ in this issue. Although the overall story was pretty typical and the art isn’t much to really be excited about. Shame, this really could’ve been a lot better then it actually was.

    3/5 

  8. Franktiger Franktiger says:

    hmm, this didn’t look like the Arlem of old, unpulled.

  9. I thought this was pitch perfect! A Marvel noble villain story done so well by Gillen — featuring that master of savate, Georges Batroc! I loved this one exponentially more then the Crossbones story last week.

  10. Urthona Urthona says:

    yea. i thought this was fantqstic!

    Greatest Moustache in the Marvel U. Dr.Strange might have something to say about that
