Title Gypsy Joe Chapter 2
Publisher Name: Viper Comics ( http://www.vipercomics.com )
Writer: Jason M. Burns
Art: Armando Mendoza
24 pages, Color
Safety Content Label: T+ TEENS AND UP - Appropriate for most readers 13 and up, parents are advised that they might want to read before or with younger children.
Publishers Blurb:
Joe Jefferson, a former pro boxer turned night guard for an aerospace manufacturer, was secretly chosen by his employer to be the test subject for a new super weapon being developed for the United States government. Kidnapped and experimented on, Joe eventually escapes to discover that he emits a pheromone that causes anyone around him to go mad with murderous rage. Finding it impossible to stay in one place for longer than five minutes, Joe hits the road in search for answers, only to meet a woman unaffected by his newfound abilities. Jody Curtis was born with anosmia, the inability to smell, and with her help, Joe Jefferson hopes to cure himself and find those responsible.
Reviewer Comments:
Once again we visit the gypsy Joe, in his quest to piece together how his life was ruined and find a way to cure himself with the curse he seems to bare.
<img src="/images/reviews/gypsyjj2.jpg" align="right" hspace="10">The story is once again action packed, and Joe finds himself traveling to Boston with his new friend Jody to confront his alleged betrayer about what happened to him. Joe monkey-stomps some baddies who are seemingly the worlds worst shots. I think Bolt Dynamics needs to invest some small arms range training for their swat personnel, as they never seem to hit their intended targets, and show a flagrant disregard for muzzle awareness as they accidentally hit several people in the crowd. When Joe makes it to Boston, the story takes an interesting turn in the plot that I won't go into as these are advanced reviews and I don't want to ruin the story.
With Mendoza on art, there was no change to the caliber of quality the book puts out, but I do have to say that I thought the storyline was getting a little redundant, so I went on to read issue three to see if it got any better. IT ABSOLUTELY DOES. Burns is quickly becoming my favorite writer to review for because his stories never cease to entertain me and keep me guessing. I'll be posting my review of the next issue shortly.
