    The Super Powered Fancast - Deron Generally

    Jan 09, 2019

    Learning the truth adds a bittersweet, but hopeful slant to the conclusion of this issue. I continue to be blown away by the story and the visuals in each issue, but the heart and emotion conveyed in Jake's story is what brings me back for each issue. Read Full Review

    I was close to writing Murder Falcon off. Yes, I was enjoying it and was going to keep reading it but I felt like it was missing a little something. Well, with Murder Falcon #4 it got what it was missing and I cannot wait to see what else is in store for this series! I really can't praise this team enough really just a fantastic comic book.

    Comic Watch - John Jack

    A really great book if you're looking for a good time, it isn't Watchmen or Citizen Kane but it isn't trying to be. This is a comic that feels like a comic should. Maybe not quite kid appropriate but still something I would have read and enjoyed as a kid. I'm not sure how old Daniel Warren Johnson is but I wager he grew up watching Voltron, Transformers and Power Rangers much like I did. Read Full Review

    The Brazen Bull - Dave Robbins

    Jan 08, 2019

    Shredtastic as ever, Murder Falcon is more than just a rollicking good time, there is real heart beneath the bluster, as there should be. It is both delightful and surprising to think about how this comes from the mind of the same guy who created Extremity. Read Full Review

    Monkeys Fighting Robots - Darryll Robson

    A blast of Heavy Metal inspired storytelling infused with a heart breaking ballad. Murder Falcon continues to impress on multiple levels and is a comic you really should be reading. Read Full Review

    Johnson tries to pull at our heart-strings and trigger our adrenaline, but the story is too clumsy to really take flight. Read Full Review

    Another fantastic issue where I see that I was fooled. Or I fool myself.
    What a fantastic writing about that. The fact that the monster can be controlled and so more dangerous is interesting as well.

    Cover - I'm not fond of it I prefered the variant but cannot have it. It's link to what I read. 1.5/2
    Writing - It's a wonderfull writing. I was very surprised in the good way. 3/3
    Arts - Not perfect but close. 3/3
    Feelings - I really love this ongoing 2/2

    After the last issue became my favorite one up to that point, this one topped it. Fantastic stuff here, as the book is really starting to fire on virtually all cylinders. I, particularly, was not expecting the twist, of sorts, with Jake here. Spoilers incoming, but I was under the impression that Jake's partner was who was sick, not the other way around (at least, that's how I read it to be here). That said, I'm even more invested in this than I was before. Great great read.

    How do you top the most epic moment of the series so far? (Jim's drum solo from last issue) well, you give the reader an unexpected plot twist with Jake. Damn you DWJ!!! Why are you so eager to pull at my heart strings!? Anywho! Just when I thought Murder Falcon couldn't be more of a badass, he recovers not to his normal form but to a "Megaform" with machine guns and wings!!!! Let's not forget Nate and his magical cowbell (idgaf what it's called in the story, it's a cowbell). To quote that famous SNL skit with Will Ferrel and Christopher Walken: "Give me more cowbell"
