Still on the trace of the three aliens who escaped a maximum security prison in the first issue, Jeremiah Harm is trying to fend off the assault of Ayoma, a crazy bad ass alien chick who eats her opponents. The humans looking want to make of Jeremiah Harm their new hero as they learn that they are about to suffocate because of the aliens doing. Is there hope for Jeremiah Harm as Earth’s champion?
Jeremiah Harm is classic take them down shoot them all gun trotting cool guy that’s as good as the rest of them. Still, there is little insight into his personality as most of his lines are about how he doesn’t care for the humans and his objective - stopping the aliens. Yet the human characters are quite fun to read as they are becoming a great support cast. Let’s just hope they don’t all die at the end of this arc.
The art is great and more in line with what appears in Europe than in North America. I like it. In any other series, one would have wanted this artist to be fired, but here, he lends a dirty look to everything. Even humans look like deformed caricatures based on live models. The artwork is perfect to capture the light humour and savagery of this series.
