Summary
The revenant tries to get the co-operation of the operative in tracking down the general who they suspect killed Alice. They try to leave her sister out of it both men reveal that they know each others identities. The general waits with bated breath for the archeologist to return with his magical artifact but the man wants to see his girlfriend so badly he takes a detour to his house where he finds his girlfriend has moved on and has a new man in her life and home. Our heroes attack the General at home where we learn he’s operative’s father. The police catch them there and only the timely arrival of Alice’s sister saves their hides.
The Good
Story- Our superheroes take the fight to the general in this issue while the mystery of Alice’s death deepens. I also liked the added touch of the archeologist who’s personal life is in the toilet because of work.
Authenticity- Mystery men is a spectacular look back at the thirties; Issues such as Race and social status are well executed and genuinely takes you back in time.
Art– The artwork of Patrick Zircher looks gorgeous! Every panel on every page, this man is worth every penny they are paying him!
The Bad
The Operative– his mild sexism and racism may turn of some despite it being typical of the time frame.
The Ugly
4/5
