Darth Vader and
Boba Fett team-up, so I’m thinking “Score!”, right? Wrong!!! I don’t know what
happened, but someone a great concept just didn’t make it from pen to paper. It’s
a mildly interesting story about an advantageous Imperial officer looking to
kill off the Dark Lord when Boba Fett arrives on the Executor. Somehow, this
turns into some weird sting operation and even more insane is Vader walking on
the outside of his Star Destroyer to get to the traitorous Imperial. A star
destroyer flies on Outer Space. How can Vader walk in space like he’s power
walking in a mall? And don’t give me “It’s the force!” as an answer, either!
Then we’ve got
Avatar. You know, that Nickelodeon Cartoon Shamalayan tried to kill in a
live-action film a couple years back? Well, I thought the Last Airbender was
bald and haw a traffic sign tattooed on his noggin. How’s this reject from One
Dimension who looks like an anime version of Mel Gibson in “Man Without a Face?”
I didn’t get this one.
The only shining
star was the Captain Midnight story. I couldn’t tell you who this guy was, but
I wish I did. That story was full of great action, lots of twists and turns and
made me want to read more. Too bad I’ve never heard of or even seen a Captain
Midnight comic before in my life. Maybe I’ll get luck someday.
As a whole, this
book is 1 for 3. I think even Meatloaf would tell you that that’s bad.
Not Worth
Consuming.
Rating 4 out of
10 stars.
