World War Hulk: Aftersmash - Damage Control #2 (of 3)

World War Hulk: Aftersmash - Damage Control (2008) #2
In the last issue, the recovery and relief efforts of Damage Control was hindered by the Thunderbolts, demanding that all unregistered superhero volunteers be arrested for violating the superhero Registration Act. Thankfully, one of the Thunderbolts has a personal history with Damage Control and a temporary truce is rendered for the benefit of saving what New Yorkers who couldn’t flee during the World War Hulk rampage. (If you’ve been keeping up with my previous reviews of the older Damage Control minis, you can figure out who I’m referring to as the peacemaker.)
Now the race is on as Damage Control and the volunteers only have 2 days to save those trapped in the Big City. Complicating matters is the Chrysler Building. No, it’s not going to tumble if repairs can’t be made immediately. It’s just become sentient and it wants to go on a tour of Asia, that’s all!
This issue goes from a really good story that goes into depth of the tragedy in Connecticut that started the whole mess with Civil War. Then it gets really bizarre. The great thing about the writing of this series is that co-creator and scribe Dwayne McDuffie can make this story interesting no matter what. Why Damage Control has never been given a full-time regular series status is beyond me! This is the House of Ideas at its best and I want more!
Worth Consuming.
Rating: 10 out of 10 stars.
