Danger Club #5 Review


After what happened at the end of  the previous outing, does the still offer enough meat to sate their audience’s appetite?  Read on to find out.

The official description from Image:

It’s the end of the world, and Jack Fearless must now pay the price for his crimes.

When it comes to this specific title, I find myself continually impressed by the amount of detail and hard work put into these characters that exist as little more than archetypes of family franchise tropes. There is no grand universe that preceded this series, instead what we’re left with is the feeling that there is one and that right there is the magic that the creative duo behind this tale bring to each and every release.

Landry Q. Walker delivers a more than competent script that successfully offers some truthful feelings for its dedicated readership.  In a lot of ways these emotions birthed from the action found in this specific jaunt give light to the fact that we as a society respond to inherent history and familiarity.  When we take into account the various fictional superheroes we know and love we find ourselves exercising empathy for these young main characters.  By the final page readers will be hopelessly enthralled by this story.

When it comes to Eric Jones this man is an artist that instantly catches my attention with each and every page that he draws.  There’s no other way to describe the precision and amount of detail that turns a brutal beating of a sidekick into something that is simply gut wrenching to witness.  We see images of torture and violence that are all expertly crafted in a way that ebbs and flows with an honesty authenticity.  The result is are a visual dance that allows this saga to go beyond the sum of its parts.

Danger Club #5 is a potent and powerful release that continues to prove the strength of the creative team and the franchise they’ve created.  As each syllable and panel is brought to breathtaking life this dark but addicting journey gets more and more exciting.  Highly recommended.

4.5/5
