MODOK's 11 Review


It is now time to reach into the really big comic book box of doom and pull out another issue. This time, we have Supervillian Team Up, titled MODOK's Eleven, where MODOK gives a group of super villains five million dollars a piece to steal a piece of technology from AIM, playing off of the movie Ocean's Eleven.

MODOK's Eleven Review

MODOK's Eleven was released by Marvel Comic Books with a cover date of November 2007, with the title "Where the Money is Or the Job". MODOK's Eleven was written by Fred Van Lente, Pencilled by Francis Portela, Terry Pallot, Lettered by Nate Piekos, and Colored by Guard Efx.

Ah, yes this is fascinating to say the very least. Super villains trying to screw over other super villains in a play of the movie Ocean's Eleven. Our leader, is MODOK as he assembled the roughest, toughest task force of villains with Armadillo, Chamelo, Deadly Nightshade, the Living Laser, Mentallo, Puma, Rocket Racer, The Spot, and Monica Rappacini.

The goal is obvious, to get their hands on a piece of technology. I have always said many times that what is a super hero without their super villains. These super villain team ups are quite the interesting venture, as you may rarely see a cape or a do gooder in sight.

And really, when many people want to rule the world, they aren't going to all get along, because there is one world to rule. MODOK, the master mind that he is, has offered those who he has hired the money. Because he knows that without a reward, there is really no really getting some people to cooperate.

This was a rather interesting storyline, most certainly worth a look. Maybe not a look where you need to go out of your way to see. Still there was a lot of action and never a dull moment in this effort from Marvel Comics.
