230. Warlock and the Infinity Watch vol 1 #2 ... Marvel ...

Originally we intended to review only issue 1 before moving on to the next series but then it was such a good read that we had to dig up issue 2 for more of the same ... and we are glad we did. Good artwork, inking, colouring coupled with a decent story made this very readable a comic

Here, as the cover indicates, once more, it is not about supervillains but rather the continuing story of how Warlock ... once a decision is made ... goes about finding 5 other unique individuals ... to be caretakers of the Infinity Gems ...

He recruits Gamorra, Pip, Drax and Moondragon ... plus one more that will be his ace in the hole ... someone that is not revealed here in this series right at the start ... and that leaves fans guessing many of whom made the right guess ... if you know the character of Warlock, chances are you will too

So who is the Watch?

Gamorra - deadliest female assassin in the Galaxy and last year was in Guardians of the Galaxy

Pip - a space faring troll like being who is more into thieving, smoking, drinking than doing any good

Drax - once a super powered person now still super strong but mentally challenged and similar to Gamorra was seen as a Guardian in Guardians of the Galaxy

Moondragon - complicated earth woman who was raised in Titan but who is partially corrupted by an unearthly being called Dragon of the Moon ... and she has been both good and bad characters before ... and is even believed at this point to be the killer of Drax, who is apparently her earth dad! Yeah like we said complicated

Ratings: 7/10
