Jack Staff Volume 2: Soldiers by Paul Grist
4.0
20 years ago, Jack Staff disappeared after fighting The Hurricane. But what does that have to do with the rage plague afflicting Castle Town?
The first volume of Jack Staff was great and this was more of the same, live and in color!
Grist's cartoony, gritty art sets Jack Staff apart from most super hero books and his style of story telling does the same. For what appears to be a solo super hero book, Jack Staff uses a large cast of characters and frequent shifts in viewpoints between Jack Staff, agents of Q, and the rest of the supporting cast.
Soldiers fills in some gaps in Jack Staff's mysterious past. It's frankly amazing how much worldbuilding Grist sneaks into this book. There are almost as many new questions raised than there are answers to old questions.
Four out of five stars.
