The Rocketeer: Cargo of Doom #3
IDW Publishing (October, 2012)
WRITER: Mark Waid ARTIST: Chris Samnee COLORIST: Jordie Bellaire LETTERER: Shawn Lee EDITOR: Scott Dunbier “ROCKETEER” CREATOR: Dave Stevens
Cliff is able to escape becoming dinosaur chow, killing the “Master” in the process. Luckily for the Rocketeer the bad guys left more than dinosaurs behind. Meanwhile, the love triangle continues.
What they got right: Good characters, turning the tables on Betty, pretty much everything the other two issues have done. Plus everyone cheering the Rocketeer. There aren’t enough superhero comics on the shelves right now where the citizenry cheer the heroes.
What they got wrong: I like Cliff/Betty and I still hope Sally doesn’t last past this arc. Also, we’d better get Rocketeer fighting dinosaurs next issue.
Recommendation: It’s leading to the (hopefully) big dino fight. That should be worth at least checking out, right?
Hey, we finally got one this week!
