Modern mythology is hard to pull off, but somehow Jim Shooter has managed it with this new series, bringing back a character from the days of Gold Key Comics in the 1960s. It’s an ancient-style story set in a mythological village within a modern wasteland; this concept alone is enough to carry the issue: that and the fact that some of it is incredibly brutal and adult. The art is by Pat Olliffe, whose style seems to have deteriorated over the years; it’s now just a shadow of his original style, which wasn’t great to begin with. He does a respectable job bringing the world to life, but when you consider it to the classic issue reprinted within, it has a lot to live up to.
