Falcon #3 showed that this is not the story you probably thought this would be. From the minute they introduced Blackheart as the villain, this became something bigger than your usual street-level problems. If there was any way to truly test the resolve of a hero like Falcon, they found the right obstacle to throw his way. Read Full Review

This is definitely the shakiest issue of the Falcon to come out so far, but it gels more often than it doesnt. I still found myself quite enthralled with this comic, and I can confidently recommend it. Check it out. Read Full Review

Regardless, Falcon #3 is an improvement in the series. Using a flashback to Sam's past almost always helps make him more relatable"which he could definitely use right now"and the bickering between he and his new sidekick, Patriot, sounds much more natural and reminiscent of actual conversations people have.

When even Joshua Cassara's gritty art shines better in the supernatural-focused scenes, maybe it's time to transition this creative team to a different project. Read Full Review

This issue of Falcon was stronger in terms of plot and action. Joshua Cassara continues to shine with his sharp artwork. The narrative moved fast and didn't linger on dramatic moments at the open and close so they had more emotional impact. But the dialogue remains simplistic and the one-liners are stiff and tone-deaf. Characterization is paper thin. Rodney Barnes could be a better writer, but he has got to explore more of his cast's motivations and history in order to produce more compelling scripts. Fewer jokes and more characterization are needed ASAP. Read Full Review

The best parts of "Falcon" are being shoved aside in service of a standard super hero story. Read Full Review

Falcon, Patriot, and Dr. Voodoo are united and take a clear run at Blackheart. It all goes great until the shocking final moment when it really, really doesn't. This is a fight-heavy issue and Joshua Cassara puts in hard work to make the art tell most of the story. Rodney Barnes's script is excellent, dialing back the pop culture humor and stiffening the story with excellent thematic links from start to finish. It's a fun, fast read and it definitely makes #4 look unmissable.

This issue is surprising .. I give it that. But like for the two before their is time in the story that seem have ellipse or plot hole.
Still don't like Patriot.

Cover - Not great but that in link 1/2
Writing - The end is violent ! 2/3
Arts - Still good 2/3
Feeling - I liked the cell part ... But I was surprised Blackheart show is true form. 1/2
