There's a contract out on The Taskmaster, and no shortage of villains willing to fulfill it. But what'll kill him first -- the bad guys, or his latest class of recruits? Welcome Annex, Prodigy, Gorilla Girl, Sunstreak and Batwing to the Initiative.

    Final word: When people try to craft a great comic story, this should be required reading. Its Christos Gages best issue to date made the more impressive by the fact hes had a long string of them on this series. Read Full Review

    One of the most heart warming and fun comics I've read in a while. Since it's almost all new characters, no excuse for not picking this gem up. Read Full Review

    A nice but ultimately boring and skippable issue. There are passing moments of the title's signature light comedy, but unfortunately they're not nearly enough to save the sinking ship.

    Perhaps the only thing I have enjoyed is Steve Uy's art, and believe me, I'm surprised to be saying that. Up until now, I haven't enjoyed anything he has done, but in this issue he has finally pulled away from his usual drab and presents us with several pieces of great work. I especially enjoyed the one (and only) fight scene toward the end. Just make no mistake: I still will be extremely glad when (and if) Caselli returns to the book. Read Full Review
