dark_noldor's Thunderbolts #151 - Ghost Story review

    Who is Ghost?

    Jeff Parker is a brilliant writer and with the help of Kevin Walker, he creates the perfect origin for the mysterious Ghost: why does he hate so much the corporate and capitalist world? After the events of issue # 150, when he stopped despising and loathing Tony Stark, this issue came in perfect timing for understanding what motivates and inspires this character that has been a part of the Thunderbolts for two years already (24 issues, since # 128) and never talked much about his past. The transition that Parker developed to ignite this story was very nice and was also good seeing that Crossbone is out of the team (maybe not permanently, but for a long time) and that a new member is coming for a new mission. It was a very interesting, well writen, with good art issue, also I´m a big fan of origins stories, so if you dig this kind of story too go to the comic book store and get this issue! Highly recommended.

      While the grounded T-Bolts pace in their bunker, a bored Moonstone asks Ghost for the true story of his origin.  The Good Walker's layouts in this issue were really inventive and I'm so glad to see a penciler opting for some inventive approaches to storytelling as opposed to the standard grid. Parker writes Ghost with this wonderfully-ostentatious voice that gives his familiar tale of revenge a uniquely socio-political spin. It reminded me of some of the best Batman the Animated Series episode...
