Myth, magic and reality start to blur as Quatermain continues his quest to find the body of his son, and faces his greatest foe; his own guilt. But time is running short and Quatermain must track down a powerful shaman that might hold the key to the mysterious were-creatures… or might be there creator. This is Chapter 2: Usiku Viumbe (“Night Creatures”) of new epic adventure serial featuring the original “super” hero-Allan Quatermain.

The Good

  • Hoyt Silva was the selling point for me. Hoyt did the pencils, inks and colors.
  • Nice twist on the last page.

The Bad:

  • There’s too much myth and magic for my taste.  I wanted Quatermain to be action and adventure!
  • “I’m so sorry.  I failed you… I failed you both.”  Later in the story, “… And I would do it all the same again.” Huh?

The Ugly:

  • That big, face-painted native that looks like Kamala sure speaks English well.

Quatermain: Ghosts of the Nzodi #2 is for readers twelve and up due to some violence.
