Deadpool is one of the few books that managed to do something with the eight month timeskip and revealing what happened during it without dragging it out as stupidly as the "Cyclops is dead Hitler but we can't tell you why" shit.

Okay, so she's a mercenary as well

>>87427093
I think you just have too high expectations from your usual.

>>87426652
Yeah, he threw in the 'real' one.

>>87427093
It just seems "meh" and you can't put out a "meh" book on an unknown character.

Moon Knight only got where he was from the God-Tier run by Warren Ellis.

it's not even entertainingly bad, it's pure routiniere

I'm going to go find the co-author's tweetings pitching it to try to liven this up

> folks need to give SOLO #2 a look too. We're pacing the series like a Bond movie. Issue #1 was pre credits action.

>>87427389
so here's the obligatory quirk

>>87427247
You also fall down hard because the 'One Man War on Terror' tagline in >>87426515 is something you really can sell if you have the balls to go with it, and this shows it doesn't have the balls on the very first page >>87426609

And besides that, yeah, there's nothing there. This is a shoddy-ass motivation even for a brief intro >>87426834, character-wise it's flat and it's an action book without anything that sparks or makes you sit up. There's room just in this exact pitch for something really good, or at least really interesting, and the fact the book doesn't deliver good or bad makes it, well, bad. Some of the dialogue is like action movie parody too (maybe it's meant to be?)

>deleted this due to spacing autism but put it this way: Catwoman in Batman today is the more compelling war on terror pitch

what happened there, I've only seen people mad on Twitter about it

I get that this is meant to be "har har he fucked up" kind of funny, but this chatty pro thing is more insufferable than that

This beat is meant to be "brave and brushing with death" but it's still more "what a fucking idiot"

>>87427484
Tom King sorta wrote Holy Terror into mainline Batman.

Catwoman hunted down and assassinated some 200-odd members of a terrorist group and Batman went after her and brought her back??

>>87427614
is this like they want to mostly copy the Deadpool movie without the charm?

>>87427577
The notion of her hunting down and killing each individual member of these cells is pretty fucking hardcore, but it does feel like a hard turn from where Catwoman was immediately prior to the book.

I feel like Solo is maybe trying to have some irony to it and is failing and being dull, but maybe it's just dull full stop. I think there are a lot of ways this book could have been better. Even if you ignore the plot set-up the core pitch of mercenary whose wife runs intel on-mission while looking after their young kid is pretty workable.

Not enough to make me care about a Solo, uh, solo, but I do like the idea behind the Mercs even if the execution was subpar.

I'm guessing 4, since it's apparently selling catastrophically badly. They might well truncate the opening arc even if it was meant to be longer.
