Brave New Worlds Second Look on Cloak & Dagger



Aw Yeah I'm back with a review, and Aw yeah Cloak and Dagger is back as well in a new Premiere Hardcover, Cloak & Dagger: Child of Darkness, Child of Light, collecting the initial four-issue mini-series by Bill Mantlo, Rick Leonardi and Terry Austin. This was before Cloack & Dagger were revealed to be mutants, but rather victims of a drug experiments gone bad.

This is another classic 1980's tale from the Marvel Universe. The duo made their first appearance in the Spectacular Spider-Man as anti-drug vigilantes. The mini-series explained their mission further and reveals both characters roots and origins.

It was definitely a simpler time in terms of storytelling, but Mantlo's writing holds up, while Leonardi lends his unique artistic talents to leave an indelible mark on one of the Marvel 'verses more unique crime-fighting teams.
