I don't know exactly when it happened in the comic books, but at some point Union Jack became a vampire hunter like another better-known Marvel hero. Whenever it happened, however, it was a great move! This reprints the Union Jack limited series of a few years ago and it's still as relevant as it was then. Why Marvel hasn't brought UJ back for another go around is beyond me, but this story is a great one, and the artwork is good too!

4.0 out of 5 stars Jolly Good...But Bloody Odd Pacing, November 3, 2007

This review is from: Union Jack TPB (Paperback)

If you don't know jack about Union Jack (sort of like me), this is a pretty good introduction. It introduces the new Union Jack, what I assume is going to be his nemesis and gives you some back story.

What I didn't like about it was that the pacing was off, in my opinion. A lot of new comics will build up and spend some time on the character's history, emotions and motivations. It has been an important part of their evolution. In this TPB, you get all of that in about three pages. That is what comics used to be like...and it takes away from what could have been a really great story.

Still...it was a fun enough read and if you fill in the gaps with your imagination, you should enjoy it well enough. If would have given it 3.5 stars if I could figure out how to do that....
