Comments: Colt’s Corner is a part of the city that has crime issues. Tommy Franklin has made it his life’s work to combat crime here.
The businesses in Colt’s Corner are having a hard time surviving. The people running them are good souls who just want to have peace.
Tommy has a girlfriend in Bianca Curry, aka Dynama, the most powerful girl on the planet. They have a good relationship going.
The art is simple, with just enough details in it. The expressions are done well to bring across the character’s feelings. The art does deliver some nice, exciting action poses as Tommy patrols.
Halfway through the comic, we get a vigilante mentioned, the Midnight Saint, who is probably Tommy Franklin, but it is not confirmed.
The criminals in this city are portrayed as stupid.
Tommy is a tough fighter who makes it look easy as he takes on a group of thugs inspired by Asgardian mythology.
This is a fun read with a superhero done in the traditional style of the Golden Age. There is a little drama, some character building, and lots of hard two two-fisted action.
