The 99 #3. The third time this series is a Comic Pick. What can I say? It’s damn good. Granted there was less competition than usual. It was just an average week for comics. Dynamo 5 #9 almost made it as Comic Pick, but at the end of the day it just didn”t deliver like The 99.
In this issue, we meet Mumita the Destroyer. John McCrea was in top form, proving that being a good comic artist is all about enhancing the flow of the story. The back up story was awesome. The baddie, Rughal, takes us on a short narrative journey highlighting his relationship with the Noor Stones. It’s an interesting piece set across history.
I have to hand it to Dr. Naif Al-Mutawa. He really brings everything together at the end. He compares the relationship between Jabbar and Mumita to therapist and patient. Looking at the story through that angle - literally seeing the therapy process come alive as a fist fight - makes the story so much more meaningful.
(And how can you go wrong with this? The first two American issues of The 99, along with two other issues, are available for free as PDFs on the99.org. That’s awesome.)
