Take Eagle: The Original Adventures, Volume 1 Engineered By Jack Herman Physical Book

my continuing reread of great's comics Eagle jumped into my hands last night, Such a damn good

book and these firstissues really only scratch the surface of what's to come.
Yes, our central character is the prototypical baddest badass who ever assed a bad, but that's not always a bad thing because he also comes with a great backstory that slowly reveals itself in the series, some real and compelling weaknesses and, well, his internal monologue and catchphrases give's wolverine a run for his money.
The real joy of the book is that the world is not the world outside our window, but Herman, Vokes and Rankin give that realization time to play out, and for the internal consistency of this Earth that isn't ours to be made clear.
Like my previously reviews for Badger and Nexus the strength of this book is that while it is superficially a superhero story in its visual tropes, its world and characters do not completely conform to that genre's rules, which makes them unpredictable and fun.
Out of print for over two decades, one of the original's blackandwhite independent comic book classics returns in a deluxe edition trade paperback! Described as Lone Wolf and Cub meets Blade Runner, the series follows the supernaturallaced adventure of a man seeking justice along the edge of a sword.

Eagle: The Original Adventures collects the first six issues of the groundbreaking series and includes a preview of the new comic book series in development.
Packed with special features including an original cover gallery, concept sketches, and editorial pieces from the creative team and artists that were inspired by the series, this collection is an essential for classic comic book fans.
