VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
(W) Marv Wolfman (A) Tom Mandrake (CA) Leonardo Manco Marv Wolfman reimagines his classic adventure series for the new millennium! There's a conspiracy under way that's been going on for hundreds of years. One determined cop has unknowingly scratched the surface and suddenly finds himself summoned to Wintersgate Manor. But this chilling menace may prove to be too big even for Baron Winters. Date Available: 03/07/2012 BONUS REVIEW by John Doc Schaefer  Hey gang, guess what ... another new 52 universe title (but don't worry it's just a mini-series.) ! I believe there are now 467 titles in the "New 52" universe. (Now that 6 titles have been officially cancelled after only 8 issues does that mean that mini-series count as series? Makes you wonder?) The good news is that DC has picked a good title to revive. Night Force went through both the 80's and the 90's as the sort of X-files of the DC universe at that time. For those of you unfamiliar with Night Force lets Dick and Jane it. Creepy house with paranormal powers owned and operated by b&st*rd Baron Winters. (Now re-imagined as a younger b&st*rd.) The Baron knows that bad things happen and gets involved when he has to. Problem is he can't really operate in the real world. So he borrows, (kidnaps is such a dirty world) normal joes like you and me whom he can sense have some special property that will be useful. (No! Not like heat vision or junk like that! Stuff like can see evil creatures in the ether or is blessed cause his great uncle was a shaman.) And throw them at the evil. This reimaging is no different younger Baron Winters knows something bad is coming. So he grabs a cop trying to make his dad proud (lucky guess?) and a girl who has escaped from devil worshipping cultist and starts making some plans. Although I liked the idea of the return of Night Force, it did make me wonder if this could be as badly botched up as the I, Vampire series. But with Marv Wolfman (heh, get it horror title ... Wolfman) and Tom Mandrake (heh, get it horror title ... Mandrake) I'm a little more put at ease knowing that these stalwarts have made wonders over their collective years in the comics field. Issue #1 is worth taking a look 7 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
