BLACK HOOD #1 is the origin story of a particular version of
a crime fighter called The Black Hood. The story focuses around Greg Hettinger.
Greg is just a normal cop in Philadelphia trying to do his job. He becomes a
hero, loses half his face, and accidentally kills a vigilante called The Black
Hood while on a routine stop near a public school. After months of therapy, he
finds himself back on the force, but he is not at all himself. A series of
unwise choices lead Greg into becoming what he thought he had killed. BLACK
HOOD #1 is fairly straight-forward as action stories go. However, it is a bit
more realistic in some aspects than other super-hero/crime-fighter stories, for
instance illustrating how a pain medication addiction can affect one's behavior
and cause a person to make strange choices. The story did keep my interest and
I look forward to reading other parts of the tale.Friday, May 29, 2015
