The Pulse #2


Pulse (2004-2006) #2

    Meet Terri Kidder... She's the newest beat reporter at the Daily Bugle and she's not having a good first week. None of her stories has been approved by the editors. She's in danger of losing her job. And her biggest scoop results in her body being dredged from the Hudson River. 

    This issue was a fantastic story that was brilliantly written by Brian Michael Bendis. It was engaging from the very first page up through the final tragic panel. Oh, and if you didn't know, the folks as the House of Ideas killed Lois Lane!

    Take a look at our intrepid reporter's name: Terri Kidder. Lois Lane was played in the movies by Margot Kidder and on TV in the 90s by Terri Hatcher. Then take into account that she mentions that she moved from a big metropolis to the even bigger Big Apple and that the pictures of her husband on her desk look an awful lot like a certain farm boy from Kansas with glasses and a curly cue. 

    A fantastic chapter in a series that hasn't disappointed me. Yes- this is only the second issue but I feel really good about what I've read so far and with Bendis at the helm, I don't think I'm going to be either. 

   Worth Consuming

   Rating: 10 out of 10 stars.
