![]() ![]() The character I know the least about - to me, it's the name of a restaurant chain - it's also the hero most changed from the original concept. Jungle Jim by Paul Tobin and Sandy Jarrell. Recommended? If you're a fan of the ongoing, this is cut from the same cloth. The writers throw in some sexy shenanigans and comedy robots for good measure, while Ferguson's art, while not as sharp as the Flash Gordon ongoing's, produces a similar vibe. ![]() But though there's a greater story here, Flash Gordon #1 still gives us a self-contained story (with a cliffhanger), as the rocket age hero tries to help a rebellion get a foothold on a Mongo-loyal planet. I imagine they'll all have to come together at the end to stop his next attempt. He has the means to invade other worlds and scarred the other heroes' worlds. Tonally, all the books in the King event have those qualities - pleasant reads across the board - and Flash's world is very much at the center of the overarching story. ![]() In other words, he's a fun (and funny!) roguish badass. This is the same Flash Gordon we know from Tobin's ongoing series. Flash Gordon by Ben Acker, Ben Blacker and Lee Ferguson. ![]()
