Aaaaaaaaaand we are back to the land of Marvel to marvel at what is the next great thing from the Marvel archives and here we have Longshot - a mutant originating from another dimension called the Mojoverse where all the locals are so tuned into TVland
For those who do not know, basically in Mojoland, live revolves around TV broadcasting with the leader/ ruler called Mojo (whoa). In that world, all the conquerors are fat creatures with insane broad smiles and sits on mechanical legs while the more regular skinnier type with legs that actually function live but to serve these fatso-s
So Longshot is one of the rebels who escaped from that crazy world seeking help to go back and kick Mojo's ass and he is a regular in the X-Men verse. His power? Aside from jumping around and throwing small blades, he has "good luck" powers similar to Domino from X-Force. His signature look? Leatherware and an eye that gleams and sparkles
This limited series is actually an origin of sorts where we get to see how he reaches Earth and is lost. The people who encounter him and got hurt. And finally those who are sent to hunt him down. We also got a taste of home life for Longshot where he is no so naive as he appears to be when on EarthThe amazing Arthur Adams turns every panel into something to gaze and study at. The only problem is the quality of paper that over time made the drawings look murky. If you have a chance, we suggest you grab hold of reprints or TPB on better paper stock
It is great reading, good story, outstanding artwork
Ratings:8/10
