The Mighty #8

Written by Peter Tomasi and Keith Champagne
Art by Chris Samnee

This title deserves a lot more buzz than it has been getting. Tomasi and Champagne's story keeps ratcheting up the tension between Cole and Alpha One, and Samnee's turning in some of the best work of his career.

In this issue, following his wife's funeral, Cole becomes pretty despondent. Alpha One tries to bring him out of his grief, and also, I think, tests his loyalties. It's becoming apparent that both men are wary of each other, and Samnee does a great job of capturing the cautious glances they give each other. Also in this issue, we begin to learn a little more about Alpha One's past - what we were told earlier in the series is false.

This is a title more people should be checking out.
