No, we are not back
in the 90's, but admit it, you are glad it looks like it. Spinning
off from "Spider Island" comes the new Scarlet Spider series written
by Christopher Yost. I had very little knowledge of Kaine, having
only read one of the old "Maximum Clonage" comics; but this is by no
means an obstacle to enjoy the book, as it has a short and sweet
explanation of who he is and how he ended up where he is now.
I was not familiar
with Ryan Stegman either, but his pencils are fantastic; his style
is so neat and refreshing that it fits perfectly with the story
being told here. Using as premise a man's new beginning and his
search for atonement, "Life After Death" is an extremely fun read.
As long as the book keeps it simple and maintains a consistent
creative team, it can easily become a hit. For now, what a great
start.
