This book tells the tale of an ex-costumed criminal, the titular 'Dead Eyes', who gave it all up years ago but must now come out retirement for various reasons. If that doesn't sound particularly original, that'll be because it isn't. It's also true to say that Dead Eyes isn't a million miles away from Deadpool, a character Gerry Duggan wrote for a number of years quite recently.

That being said, I still really enjoyed this book. It has a nice balance of action and dark humour and it's well illustrated. I think it's safe to say that if you enjoyed Duggan's run on Deadpool, you'll enjoy Dead Eyes. I'm looking forward to seeing where the book goes; hopefully in a direction that will give it more of a unique identity...

Mr. Cody Sounds uninspired (Duggan-esque, if you will)


Paul Yes, like I said, it doesn't score points for originality. What it does it does well, though.

Kevin Ansbro God, you know some stuff, Paul!
You'll be my pulp fiction phone-a-friend when I appear on Who Wants to be a Millionaire?


Paul Totally. My encyclopaedic knowledge of comicbooks should serve some purpose, I suppose...
