SUMMARY:
Entitled “No Direction Home,” DC Comics released this issue for December 1995. Finding himself lost in a bizarre dimension he derisively dubs ‘Dimension X,’ Jared “Fate” Stevens struggles to find a portal home to Earth. Yet, its mystical residents have no intention of letting him leave.
Cameos include Zatanna Zatara, Sentinel (Alan Scott – DC’s Golden Age Green Lantern), The Phantom Stranger, and possibly even Elvis. The last page sets up Fate’s participation in the Underworld Unleashed: Abyss – Hell’s Sentinel one-shot.
REVIEW:
Though the art squad’s visuals are likable, Issue # 14 frankly merits a single read, if that. Unless one deems Jared Stevens a compelling reboot (think a Punisher-like take on Doctor Fate), writer Len Kaminski serves up some blah storytelling. If anything, this issue is worth holding on to as an obscure Underworld Unleashed cross-over.
ADDITIONAL CONTENT:
The two-page letters-and-answers column hypes the Underworld Unleashed series. Also mentioned are Batman: Ghosts, The New Titans # 128, Lobo: I Quit, and Fate # 15. Len Kaminski offers his own personal profile, a.k.a. a ‘Creator Mugshot,’ as he calls it.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 4½ Stars
