The movement illustrated has weight behind it. The best part of the art is the action scenes.

And that liquid metal look and his eventual metallic skeleton are sure to remind readers of another movie. The cool way of illustrating the cyber Zero hacking the mainframe felt like it should have been scored with synth music. The deep, inky lines mixed with Dono Sánchez-Almara’s moody palette reminds me of films like The Matrix and Johnny Mnemonic. With great action scenes, fun characters, and a coherent story start to finish, I’m not sure what more you could want from this comic.ĭamian Coucerio provides a cyberpunk infused art style. The gangland warfare, cybercrime, and evil corporations have a nice familiarity to them while feeling original and not derivative of one specific source. I was able to open it and go for a ride without asking too many questions. Something about this comic felt genuinely “comic booky”. It doesn’t take itself too seriously and by doing that it allows the narrative to go more places than some of the other 2099 books. Writer Ed Brisson not only made the story fun but seemed to be having fun writing it.

And Zero’s character is left in a place that makes you want to see how he’d use his powers to bring others to justice. It built the seedy urban environment in contrast with the pristine future. The storyline of how he became Ghost Rider is one of the clearest reinterpretations of a character in this new 2099 series. The future slang was funny and seemed to be self-aware in its cheesiness. When biker/hacker/all-around cool guy Zero (cool name) loses his life, he is given the chance to get payback on those who caused this. The Spirit of Vengeance finds its way into the future.
