Midnighter, Vol. 1: Out by Steve Orlando, Stephen Mooney, Hugo Petrus, Alec Morgan, ACO

3.0

It kept me entertained and I liked the twist at the end, but I hated the way Steve Orlando chose to tell the story, and by that I mean the excessive amount of montages/location changes that happen after every single major event happens, they just made the story lose its momentum, a perfect example of this is when they blow up the house midnighter was in (side note but it was cool that it was a thanksgiving scene and reading it on thanksgiving day without knowing it was there) anyways they blow it up and no joke the next page is just a montage of the house just being rebuilt with dialogue that doesn’t matter, and then the montage ends and there’s no mention of the house again and there’s no sense of danger anymore. I also felt that most things needed a lot more set up and the way that the stories ended were super anticlimactic, there were literally two villain that actually could pose a threat to midnighter and could maybe become the main antagonist of this run but no, he kills them at the end of the fight, midnighter never gets defeated which in on itself is not a problem but at least make it less anticlimactic.
