I enjoyed the 1st volume of this series mostly for nostalgia's sake. Grifter was one of my favorite characters that came out of Jim Lee's Wildstorm comics at Image. I haven't read too much of the Wildstorm stuff that DC put out after Lee sold his company to them, but I was really excited when I heard that the New 52 was going to bring the Wildstorm characters into the DC universe to interact with the traditional DC heroes and villains. I never could find this in a book store and finally broke do...
A bad series that adds Rob Liefeld and Frank Tieri is doomed. This book is beyond bad. Plot, dialogue, layouts, etc. are all insanely bad. This series never had a shot and it shows. The book is almost a how-to manual of how to make a bad comic book. Overall, severely terrible.
There was some promise here...but it all seemed to go sideways and became a lets save the title by having multiple crossovers.I am not even truly surely the big storyline of this cancelled title, the Damonite war was even resolved.
At a DC production meeting:"Our first few issues stunk, what should we do?""Give the lead telekinetic powers we never hinted at before!""Have him crack wise like a discount Spider-man!""Make his back-story even more convoluted with shadowy conspiracies!""Guest appearances from every C-list title we have!"Six months later:"They canceled us, I don't know why."

This is volume two on the superhero known as the “Grifter.” I have previously read and gave a positive review for volume one. This second volume was not as good as the first volume; in fact it kind of died down. The story is a continuation from the previous volume. This book collects issues #0 and #9-16.This is the story of a former U.S. Army Special Forces operator name Cole Cash who found the ability to overhear telepathic communications of covert alien invaders called Daemonites who can inhab...
Nul, y a rien qui marche. Tout est tiré du chapeau, le héros est naze on se fout de ce qui peut lui arriver, aucun enjeu. Pire que Voodoo du même label. Make DC great again !
After reading the first book in the series I was looking forward to this, I was pretty disappointed with this incoherent story. I would give this a 2.5, which I think is one of the lowest ratings I've ever given a book.This title started off with some real potential. It had a likeable main character with an interesting story of alien invasion. This book was like another thing altogether, unfortunately not a good thing. The suspense from the first book is completely gone in this volume, replaced
This is all over the place, in a silly but good way. Putting Grifter up as savior of humanity seems really outlandish, and the action surrounding that section of the story is over the top. There's also a fair bit of world-development, which was somewhat interesting. Further developing the other characters (although there are a lot of throwaway characters) does push the story forward. It's just not a very strong story overall. Not bad, but not remarkable either.
I wanted to like this more than I actually did. I enjoy the character of Grifter and have been intrigued by his new backstory in the New 52. However, the story in these last issues seemed very jumbled. Characters came in and disappeared without reason. The art was fantastic though.
La serie continúa su andadura sin terminar de cumplir con las espectativas (que tampoco eran muchas). A la hora de la cancelación deja su plot bastante abierto.
