Blue Devil #16

So our new superhero has a name- The Vanquisher. He's like The Punisher if he was once a hall monitor. In other words, Vanquisher likes to get discipline people because he's power mad. And he's got massive chips on his shoulder!

When it comes to Dan Cassidy- Blue Devil just doesn't sit well at all with the Vanquisher. That's because Vanquisher doesn't feel like Dan paid enough dues to become the Blue Devil. 

Being cursed to forever rest inside a big giant blue suit for all eternity by a demon; yeah, that's not due paying worthy. 

Not really sure why we need Vanquisher. He's like when J. Jonah Jameson would create bad guys to battle Spider-Man because JJJ thought that the web-slinger was a villain himself. But here, the reasons why don't quite gel with the hatred of Vanquisher against Blue Devil. Making for this chapter in an otherwise enjoyable and quirky part of 1980s DC Comics a little uneven.

Rating: 6 out of 10 stars.
