DEATHBLOW, homicide, and reluctance

From a comic reviewer who posted at Amazon:

"Deathblow was one of the best of the early Wildstorm creations. The character has a depth and intensity seldom found in Image comics..."


A reluctant and regretful killer. Nothing beats the drama.

From another site:

"Deathblow recently died (sorry for that) and the series ended at #29, but if you can track down the first 12 issues, be prepared for a great ride. One of the best stories of good versus evil in a dismal artistic setting. Michael Cray, Aka Deathblow, is an aging Navy Seal who has survived many a scrape due to his deadly skills, and an odd ability to regenerate. The first 12 issues deal with him vs the Black Angel and his 4 Horsemen, in a war for the Holy Grail and the child of Light. This is (was!) one of Image's better, more consistent books that unfortunately ended way too early. But that just makes Michael Cray all the more real." More reason to cherish it.



Found at the back of the early issues of DEATHBLOW is the CYBERNARY title. A tidbit from the same reviewer directly above:

"... pretty mean looking woman huh? Actually, Cybernary is a highly destructive Nymph droid with two strong personalities embedded in her scull. Created by Nick Manabat and originally added as a back up story to the early Deathblow issues, Cybernary had her own 5 part series and has appeared in several of the Image cross-overs. The problem is that Nick died shortly before issue #1 came to be. That's really a bummer, for obvious reasons, but also because Cybernary was far superior when done by him. Hopefully Cybernary will contine to exist, we shall see..." No end to morbidity.
