GHOST IN THE MACHINE!
Someone is tinkering with the boundaries between life and death - or human and machine. This team has dealt with undead before, but death is due an upgrade. And no one is prepared for this digital revolution!
Rated T+
They didn't tell a lie, no one was prepared for this digital revolution. Strikeforce #5 was playing with fire between the use of Ghost and messing around with the clashing of science and magic, but the effort paid off by the end. At the end of the day, impossible situations like this is exactly what this team signed up for in the first place. Read Full Review
This isn't the strongest issue of the series thus far, but it's another delightful example of how entertaining this team can be, and that's perfectly fine with me. Read Full Review
Bit of an abrupt turn, but i feel like this is setting up a double cross by Hellstrom. I also loved seeing Monica kick all the ass this issue and when Tini starts to explore Death, you know you're in for a good story. Can't wait for the next issue.
A new pair of antagonists rope most of the team into a raise-the-dead adventure. Both script and art take a sharp swerve here. This side-story is hardly connected to the Vridai tale, and the switch to cartoony art is rough (though it is GOOD cartoony art). I'm really not sure what to make of this; I'll have to see how the detour wraps up.
Hmm, just when I had gotten fully on board this issue takes an unexpected, and not intensely interesting turn. It’ll probably be fun to see how the two disparate plots will combine further down the line but it feels a bit jarring at this stage.
It also threw me that Jessica never offered advice on how to take down Ghost based on her previous history with the character. In fact it came over like she had no knowledge of him at all, and there were no clues to suggest this was on purpose rather than an oversight, which is disappointing either way.
The new artist wasn’t too distracting but I hope we get back to Peralta as I like consistency.
I have a feeling Strikeforce 5 will read a lot better in trade, but for a story with so many layers and elements, it just gets so confusing when there’s a whole month in between issues. I was honestly very confused and I’m considering dropping this title and just waiting for the trades. Beautiful art though
Uh, this was fine? Very weird.
Oh uh, no thank you?
