Treading Water ... Voodoo style.
Well, for the past two months this book has begun to tread water. After an entertaining start to the series we have now seen it crawl to a turtle's pace.
Like last issue, nothing much happens this go-around. There's plenty of fighting but it's all rather mindless. We get plenty of panels dominated by these nameless troopers that have escorted "good" Priscilla to Europa and they only manage to help weigh the book down. It's as if anyone will remember any of these guys when this series is done so it gets a little frustrating having them take up so much of the past two issues. However, by the end of the book both Voodoos managed to finally make it inside the mountain to find the secret Daemonite "weapon" ... sadly for us it took two months for them to do so with little else really happening during the adventure. Confrontation and conclusion await us next issue! I'm guessing these two will somehow merge into one being ... but we'll see.
When its all said and done, I think we all feel pretty confident that Voodoo will end up in Wildcats at some point down the road. At least this time she'll be a cold blooded, shape shifting melee master instead of a rather helpless girl always being protected by Spartan. Not only will she easily replace herself as a much better character in a Wildcats reboot, but she'll also replace Warblade since she can do anything he did and do it better! Two birds with one character! I say that spells victory for this volume's run in the long haul.
