Silverblade #5


Silverblade (1987-1988) #5

   With the Winged Avenger still on the loose, Jonathan Lord is taking the responsibility of super hero a littel more seriously. Thanks to the ghost of his former friend Brian Vane, Lord and manservant Milestone have gleaned vital information that puts Silverblade and his falcon spirit guide on the hunt of Native American shaman Blackfeather. The same Blackfeather who unleashed the falcon's antithesis, an evil entity called the Executioner and now posing as the Avenger.

     Once Lord finally locates Blackfeather, the newly forged super hero learns the hard hard way that nothning is as it seems and that potential enemies are in fact allies. However, that also means that those the former actor considered friends could very well be enemies.

   The action of this chapter was quite good. But the whole concept of the Winged Avenger seemed to go to the wayside once Jonathan Lord found Blackfeather. Some of Silverblade and Blackfeather's origin is revealed and that helped reveal some of the mysteries that have been building thus far. But really, what's the deal with the Executioner? Will he return? And just where did he go?

   Worth Consuming

   Rating: 8 out of 10 stars.
