We’ve heard that one before!<\/em><\/p>\n

After a near-death experience and what could only be described as his own personal hell, Mister Markham takes a vow to protect the innocent…but what if the innocent isn’t so innocent? What if the innocent is a man that took advantage of a 7-year-old girl? This is just one of the heavy themes that Near Death will explore in its run at image comics (And for a meer $2.99!).<\/p>\n

While issue one did a good job of building upon the character the issues he’ll be dealing with, I found the second issue to be quite the controversy. What to do with a sick individual that swears he’s done his time, that swears he’s healed, that swears he’ll never do it again? With the pain and anguish of the family kindled into a flame of anger so great they are willing to kill to avenge the girl, this issue is about protection and right and wrong. It’s a thin line to walk\u00a0and a great story to tell…I just wish it went a little more in depth…the legalitites of the system, the issues with the grey areas that come into play.<\/p>\n

All in all this is a great title worth picking up and checking out!!<\/p>\n
