The crew at Damage Control is suspected of
creating disasters for profit after the team is repeatedly called away to accidents
minutes before they happen. With the NYPD on their tail, the company is going
to have to prove that they are innocent or the whole business may be forced to
close, people lose their jobs, and even worse, face criminal charges.
I like this idea. It’s got an air of mystery
to it while still staying true to the Damage Control formula I love. What doesn’t
stay true to the DC formula is the art. For some reason, Ernie Colon is not the
artist for this issue (and I fear for the rest of the series.)
Taking over the reins
from Colon is Kyle Baker. Years after this issue is published, Baker will
revitalize the obscure and definitely weird super hero Plastic Man. His
cartoonish style works for Plas. It does not work for Damage Control. Besides
Peter and Robin, the art is so different from Ernie Colon, that I can’t tell
who some of these characters are. I did not enjoy it.
While I like some of
Baker’s work, this issue isn’t one I favor. In fact, it’s so bad; this becomes
the first Damage Control issue I deem NOT WORTH CONSUMING!
Rating: 4 out of 10
