Silverblade #2


Silverblade (1987-1988) #2

   Jonathan Lord just received a slew of new super powers. He's got the ability to become any of the characters he played in his lengthy acting career. He also gains their abilities, too! And he just got younger by about 40 years. But instead of becoming a superhero, Jonathan does what most of us would do- he uses his powers for himself.

    First on his list is to arrive at a high-profile movie premiere and announce to the world that Jonthan Lord, Jr is gunning for the lead role in the Silver Blade remake! Along with becoming the envy of the Hollywood elite and scoring with a hot babe reporter, J Lord, Jr. has also become a target of the same villain who tried to kill him in the first issue. And he's using a man dressed as the sam duck-faced killer in the movie premiere to do they job left unfinished at Lord's Shangri-la compound.

   Having Lord be more selfish than trying to help his fellow man was kinda refreshing. Instead of the typical superhero fodder, the act of having the main character be more interested in reviving his career and sow some oats means that I, the reader, am in for an unexpected wild ride.

   I can't wait for what happens next. But I do hope it gets somewhere understandable quick.

   Worth Consuming

   Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
