When it comes to comics there is nothing I enjoy more than a classic struggle between the forces of good (in this case holy) and the forces of evil (for feng shui purposes the damned). Especially when both the protagonist and antagonists are butt-kicking, scantily clad, and extremely powerful dime pieces, a.k.a. hotties. Anyone who agrees with me will be blistering with excitement as they read the latest issue of Image’s Avengelyne. Read on for the skinny…
WRITTEN BY:Rob Liefeld and Mark Poulton
ILLUSTRATED BY: Owen Gieni
“‘DEVIL IN THE FLESH,’ Part Two In his search for a new apprentice, the Red Dragon has taken control of Avengelyne’s body forcing her essence into Heaven Starr. Meanwhile, Torment targets the New Church of the People. Plus, the return of Passover!”
Avengelyne, former member of God’s angelic army Warhost, is sent to the mortal realm to combat the forces of evil as a form of heavenly punishment. Her enemy is none other than the prince of darkness himself in the guise of one beautiful (and deadly) piece of ass. Jam packed with wonderful blood splatter, disembowelment, and of course an angelic super solider, this comic is anything but boring.
Both Rob Liefeld and Mark Poulton as the stories creators deserve some recognition for the roller coaster adventure that is this comic; upon completing the comic all you are left with is an undying desire to know what happens next. Owen Gieni does a splendid job with both the art and the coloring; the shades and colors suit the comic perfectly for both its intensity and explosiveness.
Do yourself a favour and enjoy this sexy, violent ride.
5 outta 5 skulls.
