Samurai Jack #9
IDW (June, 2014)
“Samurai Jack & The Villainous Vortex” WRITER: Jim Zub ARTIST: Ethen Beavers COLORIST: Josh Burcham LETTERER: Shawn Lee EDITOR: Carlos Guzman “SAMURAI JACK” CREATOR: Genndy TartakovskyAku has another trap for Jack. This time it’s a machine that can control gravity. Really all I can tell you in a new comic review and the rest is going to be shorter than normal, too.
What they got right: I like the panel layout in some moments, when the gravity machine gains ground. I also don’t think I’m spoiling anything to say Jack will win, and Aku’s response was funny.
What they got wrong: I wonder if this would have worked as a dialog-free issue like the last one, but it’s so minor I wouldn’t mention it if there was anything else to bring up.
Recommendation: This is still a great stand-in for the show and worth it for any fan to pick up.
