The end of Skottie Young’s reign of this series and he goes out with the bang. Just when I was finally enjoying reading more or less conventional superhero comics. Well, some might argue the notorious Merc isn’t all that conventional, but there you go. That’s the main appeal.
With blatant disregard for conventional morality and things like the fourth wall, this installment offers a bran-new slew of adventures. Firs, an all-out Troll war down under. Then Weasel and Memphisto decide this guy will be their next great assassin. Are you sure about that, guys? If anyone can talk himself out a job, it’s that guy. And if he survives that, his next job will be for an eight-year-old confronting Nightmare himself over some…well, nightmares. Snappy snarky fun all around and fun art to boot. Bonus adventure stays well much true to the original tone of the series, so Young leaves it in able mitts. Very entertaining. Recommended.
