Some thoughts about All-Star Section 8 #5

Six Pack will need to face the truth once for all.

Having another hallucination courtesy of the Phantom Stranger, Six Pack will have to meet his former friends as well as learning what is truly happening to him which might be the last thing he want to see.

Okay, this worked greatly in several levels.

Garth Ennis offers a new chapter where he wastes no time and makes you laugh by making the Phantom Stranger, a being usually surrounded by mistery and melodrama, into a rude hip hop singer that keeps cursing every time lacking any kind of subtext whatsoever. This is so hilarious and can only work in this book in particular. I'm also enjoyed the self-promotion to get Ennis and McCrea's The Demon.

Not only that but the author manages to include some quite important character moments for Six Pack that actually become emotional at the last moment.

Speaking of the last moment. Hopefully Ennis can write Superman correctly once again.

John McCrea delivers the artwork again and his work remain ridiculously hilarious while showing some really strong scenes in terms of characterization.

Pretty good issue, hope the final one brings a good conclusion.
