G-Man: Cape Crisis #5

FINAL ISSUE

Image Comics (January 2010)

WRITER/ARTIST: Chris Giarrusso

COLOR ASSISTS: Dave Giarrusso

EDITOR: Branwyn Bigglestone

ASSOCIATE PRODUCER: Michael Marasigan

G-Man and Great Man must journey to Sky Mountain in order to get their powers restored. On the mountain they must face many dangers in search of the ancient sorcerer Khrys. He ends up chained underneath the mountain, so the kids rescue him and he in turn restores their powers. (Turns out winged goat boy there knitted the cape from his own wool.)

Back ups include the finale of Pix and another Patrick the Wolf Boy.

What they got right: How do you describe how good this was? Beats me. For bonus points I like how Great Man finally apologies for getting their powers destroyed, and still gets to be a jerk to him earlier. The area around Sky Mountain has a barrier of some kind I guess, and changing the ink and coloring to indicate it was rather neat. The Pix story ends well, and I hope she comes back in a future G-Man comic.

What they got wrong: Why are all the fun comics mini-series. First Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures, now this. If Pet Avengers can get a full series, why not this comic?

Recommendation: If you haven’t picked this up yet, now is the time to do so, or wait until the trade comes out. This comic is a lot of fun and I hope we get another series, as Chris G. promises for 2010.
