Cloak and Dagger Issue 9 Review

It is now time to reach right into the really big comic book box of doom and pull out another issue for a random comic book review. In this issue, we have Cloak and Dagger Volume 2 Issue 9. In this issue, Dagger tries to escape the life she lived, but obviously it is going to be either said than done.

Cloak and Dagger Volume 2 Issue 9 Review

Cloak and Dagger Volume 2 Issue 9 was released by Marvel Comics with a cover date of November 1986 and was titled "The Lady and Unicorn." Cloak and Dagger Volume 2 Issue 9 was written by Bill Mantlo, Penciled by Arthur Adams, Inked by Terry Austin, Colored by Glynis Oliver, and Lettered by Ken Bruzenak.

The mark of a good comic book is taking characters that the reader may or may not know of and if they know of them, they only know the most general basics their backstory. Regardless a really good comic book tends to allow the reader to remain interested, as the characters can be rather compelling all of the way through, no matter what.

Cloak and Dagger did this and did it rather well. Dagger wanted to go away, to do something more, to be happy with her life, to not get trapped right in the common endless cycle of misery and woe. Joining the circus seemed to be the best idea. Naturally Cloak has a more realistic and rather grim view on the situation.

This dynamic leads to quite the great contrast of characters, which allowed me to move through a lot of this issue, and enjoy pretty much every point of it. Once again, making the reader care about characters I know of, that's quite a feat.

It won't be a stand out issue, but a rather solid one will have to do and really not every issue needs to be a blow out event. Just one that is good enough to make you care about the characters. Which I am happy to say that Cloak and Dagger Issue 9 did for me.
