New Phantom Comic: Tigers Blood Part two

The second part of the story about Tigers Blood finally came out recently from new writer Mike Bullock. This new series by the writer is one of the few NEW things coming from Moonstone at the moment. This has raised many comments both positive and negative from various phans, experts and other casual readers. If you want to read about them browse onto the Phantom Phorum, Chronicle Chamber and the Moonstone Forum.

This blog entry is about part two that follows on from part one which I recenty also blogged about.

The first thing that I must comment on is that I really dislike about only getting 22 pages of a comic and then having 8 odd pages of crap. Maybe I am too used to Egmont stories were we get 30 odd pages regularly without adverts in the Frew English translated comics

Again I do not think much of the artwork, some of it is great especially the opening few pages which were absolutely fabulous but then some of the peoples faces look a bit scratchy and funny.

Mike Bullock: I am a bit surprise about the way the second part of the story started off. To be honest I had to double think about weather I was reading the right part or a total new story. I don’t understand why in the first part we read about ‘cupid’ and in the second part we read about some magical ‘manic’, to me the ‘cupid’ just seemed a waste of time.

I really enjoyed the villain and how he was smart and had the brains to kick (no phun intended) the Phantoms butt. I like the epilogue of his girl dieing and it was interesting how some politicians do not think much of the Phantoms actions. However I personally would not like to Manuel Ortega back, I get rather tired of some action heroes battling the same villain over and over again.

The two stories seem to be too disjointed for it to actually flow nicely together as I personal think that two part-ers should be. I know some people judge a horse by one or two races but I think you should judge them over a year or two off races. So in saying that, Mike if you read this, I will judge you over a number of issues and not just one or two…

I agree completely with your review there Germ. One thing, the line Mike Bullocks: I am a bit surprise. The S in Mikes last name may be a typo, if so I suggest you may change it as people familure with British insults may get the wrong idea of what you are saying. :)

Cheers,
