DEADLIER THAN A COBRA'S STRIKE! The Phantom has eaten away at the forces of the Singh Brotherhood -- but the soldiers are seemingly endless, and the people of the Bandar village are still under threat. There's an old jungle saying... "The Phantom never dies." Asif Singh will put it to the test. The battle grows desperate in the newest installment of Ray Fawkes and Russell Olson's stylish epic!
The Phantom #4 may change the focus of the story from the Phantom to Guran, but this only strengthens the resolve of the story. The brave nature of Guran shows that even a normal man can do extraordinary things when pushed to the limit. As the story moves forward it will be all hands on deck if the village has any hopes of surviving. This suspense is the best reason to grab an issue and enjoy the story this week. Read Full Review
THE PHANTOM #4 commits to introducing genuine vulnerability to its protagonist, which is narratively courageous and emotionally effective during the early sequences. Kit Walker wounded becomes a more interesting character than Kit Walker invincible, and Diana's role becomes meaningful rather than decorative. However, the execution falters during the crucial middle passages where tactical planning should engage the reader's intellect. The issue obscures rather than clarifies how Guran seizes the advantage, leaving readers disconnected from the intelligence that supposedly defines him and his supporting cast. Read Full Review
Taken from my review on ComicBookClique.com:
Man or Myth
When you get right down to it, the Phantom is almost like the poster child for old-school pulp adventure heroes. He never dies, but he is forever changing with the times. The difference between him and someone like the Rocketeer or the Shadow is that while those two always remain the same man in each new incarnation, the Phantom is a mantle that is passed from father to son endlessly.
This means that each new take on the character is a different person, with a different personality, strengths, and weaknesses from the last. It is a built-in mechanism to keep the character in line with the times and to keep things fresh and exciting.
