212. Cabbot: Bloodhunter #1 ... Image ... Rob Liefeld, S Platt, Rick Veitch

First up, before there was David Finch, I was a fan of Stephen Platt. However, he did so little comic work before moving out of the industry. All I know is that he started towards the end of the Moon Knight run and then did a smattering of Prophet for Image and then a bit more here and there followed by covers ... and that's it!

Anyway, what I loved is the fact that his artwork is chockful of details including extra bubbles and circular lumps and bumps and what-nots ... splatter effect ... kind of like how he spells his own name in his work ... S.Platt

Okay as for the story, it is actually quite interesting. We have Cabbot former leader of Bloodstrike dead again. But for someone in Project Born Again ... dead is merely a time to heal before someone in the government brings him or her back to our world to do yet another mission

So here we have a bit of an argument where Cabbot in the past wants the chance to actually die while in the service of his country and to stop bringing him back. However, thanks to all the skullduggery around, one time after another, he found himself back

And this time around, we are shown more of the players some of whom wants him back and some don't. And we are given a quick glimpse of all the fights he was in and some of the times he died i.e. a good recap first issue so that we more or less know what's going on

However, once we are settled, the issue ends with a BANG and we are left with the questions of whether Cabbot wants to be back and this time, who is going to pull his strings?

Unfortunately we couldn't find any other issue to continue after this ... damn!
