STAFF PICKS :: ROCKETEER: CARGO OF DOOM #1
SETH’S PICK :: ROCKETEER: CARGO OF DOOM #1: The best Rocketeer stories will always be ones by his creator, Dave Stevens. I am, however, really pleased with not only both volumes of Rocketeer Adventures, but also this new four issue mini series from IDW. Mark Waid is tasked with the writing duties, and he’s made a career out writing characters with a clear and respectful understanding of their place in comics history. On Thor: The Mighty Avenger and Captain America and Bucky, artist Chris Samnee showed he could tackle innocent adventure stories and period pieces. More than anything, IDW’s new Rocketeer stories remind us that even if we’ll never be able to see any new art from the late, great Dave Stevens, we can continue to celebrate his legacy with books like this.
Cargo of Doom has to be one of the greatest titles of all time
