You explain why you called yourself Apollo, which had to do with Hyacinth. Apollo turned Hyacinth into something else, something more beautiful, even better. Even with all the crap Midnighter had to deal with, Apollo believed his lover could rise above it and become something better. Neither...
I guess have some angel-powers grafted onto you. Especially if your own powers won't work in hell. Midnighter does, and he fights Neron, the devil who's taken his lover, Apollo. This is mostly fighting, and mostly Midnighter getting his face kicked in. Then again, he's used to fighting, even...
Midnighter goes to Hell to save Apollo. This gets a lot less weird than most of the graphic novels set in the DC or Marvel universes. It doesn't try to shoehorn it into the story without worrying about offending people, which is the sense I get with other stories. This is about Midnighter do...
While everyone tries to convince Midnighter that Apollo is dead and that he has to deal with his grief, he counters with 'no, I believe Apollo is alive, thank you very much.' He refuses hugs and any comfort, and instead tries to revive Apollo and then tries to find Apollo's soul. Riiiight. Beca...
MIdnighter is back with Apollo, has friends, and he still gets to kill the crap out of evildoers. Sounds perfect, right? And it is, especially in this issue, at least until The Gardener's ex-boytoy comes along and Midnighter just has to find Henry Bendix, a mad scientist who had tried to kill an...
Which is awesome. I loved the last volume so much and I ended up just falling for this character, so I got this one in paperback. The last volume might have had more humor, but this one felt more substantial: getting into the character more and playing with him. And also bringing back Apollo. ...
Midnighter is a character who has amnesia, is super violent, has a traumatic past including experimentation (and a supercomputer in his brain) and a heart of gold. Well, y'know, he saves people, especially kids. There are enough parallels - and differences from - Wolverine to make me perk up and...
I still find the writing in these books confusing, but the stories kept my interest more than Blight, and I wasn't quite as lost. Constantine encounters some real characters in the magical underworld, which I always find fun in a rubbernecker sort of way. Each story seemed better to me, and the Doct...
tickles! :D
