Finally Taskmaster gets his own comic. Great charterer, in my opinion, a benchmark for the male anti-hero. No victim, whinny, wimpy stuff here. Just a gun for hire that is all about trying to get 'some'.
Taskmaster's skill is that he remembers techniques/moves by other fighters/super heroes, a physical/mental reflex that is remembered once copied from an adversary. Problem is this skill has pushed out his other memories, the important ones. Like where does he come from? As Taskmaster has forgotten his pass. Writer Fred Van Lente gets the story going and keeps it straight to the point, witty with a enough 'pulp' in for good measure. The art by Jeff Paleo maintains the action and dynamics of the story.
All and all a very good start to hopefully will be a consistent run for the Taskmaster character.
