Dakota North #4


Dakota North (1986-1987) #4
After receiving a tip from her offices in Paris, Dakota North treks to the City of Lights in hopes of saving her brother. But her brother and new 'girlfriend,' an teenaged assassin/ fashion model have moved on to Switzerland in order to dodge another onlsaught of hired killers. Will Dakota finally reach Ricky before it's too late? Has Ricky's new girlfriend actually chosen love over duty? There's only one issue left to answer all these questions.

    With some new baddies, the level of thrilling action got bigger and badder. This issue wasn't quite as funny as the previous three but that's okay. I don't expect a series like this to always be a laugh riot. That doesn't mean this issue wasn't a fun ride. 

   With a demented shiek and his lethal throng of killer falcons, a sniper attack in an art musuem, a train car that turns into an actual car, and killer fashion models, this is the type of cat-and-mouse thriller I think editor Jim Shooter and writer/co-creator Martha Thomases were originally aiming for. C'mon Marvel, give this series another chance- it so deserves it!

   Worth Consuming

   Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
