Die Hard: Year One #2
|
Boom! Studios; $3.99
First we weren’t fully prepared for Die Hard to work so well in a comic book. We read the first issue and got over that pretty quickly.
Then we weren’t prepared for Die Hard, one of the great action-adventure franchises in movie history, to turn into a smoldering, what-the-heck-is-going-to-happen, powder keg kind of thriller. But that’s exactly what’s going on with the Boom! Studios series as NYPD rookie John McClane gets thrown into the pressure cooker of America’s Bicentennial in1976. Writer Howard Chaykin and artist Stephen Thompson are on the mark with this one.
