Every now and then, Marvel and DC will attempt to launch a new character ... it is a valiant effort especially since more characters do not survive unless they first appeared in another more famous character's booksAs for Aztek, he is totally new - not related to anyone in anyway
The story is this: Aztek is a man who was raised in a faraway land ... being trained by his order to be on standby against the approaching darkness that will one day attempt to consume the Earth ... so here he comes with his funky helmet that gives him his abilities ... and knowing nothing about our world he tries to find a place to stay, how to fit in and all the while getting ready for the darkness ...
The fun in this issue is largely in how he handles our customs. And as for action scenes, yes there are some as this is after all a super-hero comicbook ... it is interesting though ... and what I liked is the surprisingly chunky artwork with a few lines to fill up the background ... for me, it works although I can imagine many wouldn't like it
So, it came as no surprise that inspite of the many guest stars to come flooding this book, it ended up being cancelled within the first 12 months!
Ratings: 7/10 (2 points for the artwork)
