2.222 (587) Supreme Power Nighthawk #3 to 5 ...

 Steve Dillon has to be one of the most awesome comicbook artist ever. He draws generally very straightforward clean lineworks with almost no fancy camera angles. Almost everything is viewed from a straight to the front horizontal style and yet it works. Perhaps it is how he conveys emotions so well with but a few lines

Anyway, for some reason he always pairs with writers who writes the shit out of the violence in each comic book and here it is crazy

We have Nighthawk a guy who is an angry African American with no superpowers but dresses himself up and uses some gadgets kind of like a lame ass Batman type.

In this alternate universe, in this storyline, he goes up against an ordinary guy, a loser sort who decides for whatever reason to kill and so our hero has to stop him but this loser is not exactly stupid, see? Not only will he slice you up he loves a bit of the old poisoning too

And so Nighthawk finds that perhaps even an ordinary fellow can be an extraordinary man and perhaps he should quit being an angry man in crazy country

2.67 (432) Supreme Power Nighthawk #2 ... Marvel ...

Steve Dillon is one of the few artists whose sparse linework actually appeals to me. If you do not know his work, check out Punisher or Preacher and you can see it. He doesn't do too many fancy camera angles and in fact keeps it almost eye level and yet ... or perhaps it is because he is always paired with awesome writers who goes way over the top with violence when Dillon is onboard?

Whatever the reason, this issue rocks

For those not in the know, apparently this version of Nighthawk is from a parallel universe where a minor Marvel team called Supreme whatever has been reimagined ... as I am not a fan or have much knowledge of that first team, this was fine with me and apparently this is a spin off

In this issue, 2 of 6, we see psycho mild-mannered chap finally breaking out of prison where he has been apparently locked away and mentally zoned into coma like state .... where it was all pretence and he has decided to up the ante with immediate effect. You see, in his normal un-psycho part of life, he is a chemist. So ... he begins

And at this stage, Nighthawk is a rich angry young man who goes about trying to right the wrongs in his owl-like suit, kicking ass and hurling irons (I know, I know - it's comics)

Naturally when we see drug users starting to OD and blood gushing out everywhere we know who to suspect but hey they are drug pushers and users ... but is that the true extent, the scope of our madman's plan or is there something even more sinister at work?

And for that, you need the next issue - simply entertaining!
