Rated T+
The only takeaway from Luke Cage: Gang War is that the hero for hire would have been better served left in his mayoral office during "Gang War" and off the page altogether. Read Full Review
This miniseries continues to drop in quality for me, unfortunately. Bachs's art is good, but a lot of the dialogue from Barnes feels a bit generic. Plus, it doesn't help that I'm really losing interest in the overall story. Hopefully the next, and final, issue can make this all worth the read.
Art: 3/5
Story: 2.5/5
Total: 5.5/10
Things are quickly deteriorating in this miniseries. As we move further away from the person-on-the-street type of story that was present in the first issue, we’ve now quickly devolved into a wild and unintelligible battle that sees Luke in a new, Hulkbuster-inspired machine. None of it made particular sense, his version of the Defenders randomly appear and add nothing to the story, and the art is uninspired throughout the book. This has quickly become the weakest Gang War tie-in and isn’t doing its characters any justice.
This....this steaming pile of crap. The problem with most event tie-in series is that they have to justify their existence and this series has quickly demonstrated that it's completely pointless. Add in the fact that the craft involved in this comic is god awful and it ends up winning the prize as one the worst comics Marvel has ever published. I don't know what other comic book work Rodney Barnes has done before but for the sake of all humanity he should be kept far, far away from making any more in the future.
