Luke Cage continues his pursuit of a murderer who’s using disease to kill Harlem’s wealthiest residents. But years of knock-down, drag-out brawls have left him less than unbreakable, and he’s forced to face the very real possibility that living a long life with his family may mean sacrificing his work as a super hero. Either way, he can’t retire yet, because the Everyman killer has just found a new target: Danny Rand, owner of Rand Enterprises…and the IMMORTAL IRON FIST!
A DOUBLE-SIZED Marvel Digital Original you don't want to miss!
The double-sized length of these digital exclusives is proving to be a very valuable feature, not a bug, as shown by this riveting middle chapter in Luke Cage's battle against Everyman. Read Full Review
Luke Cage (MDO) is a brilliant comic. Luke is facing a situation that is quickly spinning out of control. The stakes are high and these books are having a lot of success bringing in real-world issues and concerns. Marvel has found a nice balance between being the world outside while not necessarily over pushing politics. They have done this by focusing on the feelings of those outside. Luke Cage feels fresh and conflict is worthy of this character. Though this book is not as gritty as Kelly Thompson's Jessica Jones it is still alive and raw.
Pick it up
Luke struggles with himself and his enemies. Danny Rand helps out, and Everyman plunges Harlem into chaos. Good character work and solid plot developments, but the script's movement from one development to the next is clumsy. It's not helped by the art. The visuals are generally unimpressive (scratchy finish, lack of detail) and actually harmful in some of the action scenes. This series still has plenty of promise, but it's just not being built on very well.
