Ka-Zar #4 & #5 by Mark Waid and Andy Kubert

I am going to level with you, when this comic came out I avoided it completely. Ka-Zar? From the Savage Land? As an ongoing comic... Seriously? Well, I've since learned to just trust Mark Waid. The man knows how to write, and even characters that seem b or c list become fascinating.

And when I finally started grabbing back issues of Ka-Zar whenever I could find them, I ended up grabbing doubles of these two issues.

If you don't know anything about Ka-Zar or this series, then your best bet is to read Pipeline. Augie De Blieck Jr writes a great column on it, and to be frank, he does a much better job of it then I could.

This is a great series, and I can't recommend it enough. It is one of those comics that is way better then it sounds like it is going to be. And while Waid may have left the series after 14 or 15 issues, Christopher Priest took over for a while and kept up the quality.

Sad that I missed it when it was originally released, i am glad I have it now. And so can you....or at least issues 4 & 5 of it.
