I don’t know where this series lost me.  I just know that, with all the different titles The Hood is in right now, this issue didn’t make me want to go back and retrace my steps through this particular story.

I soldiered through, because the art is pretty good, and I wanted to finish it, but there’s an abrupt change of character within the space of two panels that felt so forced for the sake of moving the plot along, that I put the book down.

Story: 2 - Average
Art: 4 - Very Good

  1. which two panels are you talking about?  I thought Parker did a great job with this mini.

  2. @Chunkahash: The loving wife finds him shaking the Dorramu out of the baby, and immediately kicks him out of the house, and says to never approach them again.  Sure, a mother is going to be very protective of her child (usually a da would be, too), but she has put up with a lot of unexplained weirdness with him before, and not had an epic freak out like this one.  It felt, to me,  more like a plot advancing tool than an honest character reaction.

  3. i can see that.  I just looked at it as the straw that broke the camels back.  With all of the weird stuff she has seen and had to deal with, this was the last straw.  She couldn’t take anymore. 

  4. The reaction itself didn’t seem so bad, but I would’ve liked to have seen more of the wife and kid after the fact (as well as Robbins accepting the situation and leaving what were his last real threads of humanity).

    The issue in general felt rather rushed. Every plotpoint was wrapped up, but the execution of it all seemed rather abrupt.

  5. @TheDudeVonDoom: I agree with you rfeeling that thiw was wrapped up hurredly, and a bit too neatly.

    @Chunkahash:It just seemed to easy a plot device.  Possible?  Certainly.  Yea, watching someone shake your child is definitely near the top of the list for Things To Send One Over The Edge, but it fit too conveniently into the story for me.
