First of all I'd like to appologie for the earlier outburst. In all honesty those feelings have been bubbling away in the background for a while now, and today just happened to be 'the perfect storm' of triggers to release that.
TRUTH OR DARE #1 - Twin acrobatic sisters driven to a life of crime, under the control of Blockbuster, until something horrible happens. Now with one sister remaining to overcome a tragedy, will her life now steer toward crime...or revenge? Written by John Cheese!
First off I have to say that I enjoy seeing someone use character or characters that you don’t ever really see get the spot light treatment especially a title of their own. I remember Double Dare from the old Nightwing comics working for Blockbuster like Lady Vic, Brutale, Shrike, etc and thought it was a shame when good villains are filed away for new ones when 52 came along.
The story flowed along pretty nicely and the way the action was described made it fun to read. I look forward to seeing how the younger sister deals with not having her older sister around, you know besides murderous revenge that is. It took me a minute to figure out who the bad guys were from their descriptions but I figured it out. 😂 Reading it my mind begins to wonder if Margot is still out there some where and if Aliki will run into any other rooftop runners. Oh and Miss Morphines weapon makes me think of the fear injectors Scarecrow uses in the Batman Arkham games. All in all a good first issue can’t wait to see what number two has in store for us.
Thanks for the review betwern that and Dave's it's really picked up my spirits.
Double Dare were some of my favourite characters do, especially since they had the audacity to steal from 'The Block' in his own city.
We'll be seeing some more feet pounding on the rood tops relatively soon, as well as a scarily compotent version of a certain trio heading towards the 'Haven'. As for Aliki's handling of things...let's say she could handle things better.
