Cyclops #3

Written by Matz
Art by Luc Jacamon

As Cyclops continues, it is more or less following the plot that I expected it to follow.  Pistoia, the private military man we (and the world) have been following for the last two issues, now has his own reality TV show, and is responsible for a huge upsurge in people applying to work for his bosses at Multicorps.  He's got a nice new home that his company are financing, and things look great for him.

Except now, his wife is starting to question when he's being genuine and when he's playing for the cameras, and he's beginning to question if some of his historic acts, like risking staying in a bomb zone to rescue a woman and baby, are themselves genuine or staged without his knowledge.

To add to this suspicion, there is now a reporter for a Los Angeles Latino newspaper asking questions that are making Pistoia's superiors uncomfortable.  It seems that Matz is taking this story into familiar territory (pawn and outsider team up to take down evil corporation), but it's being handled so well that I am still very much interested in seeing where it all leads.  Jacamon's art is great, and the writing keeps the story moving.

I'm not sure that this is turning out to be as good as The Killer, but this is still a very good comic.
