I will take a look at the latest issue of “Simon N. Kirby: The Agent # 8” from G-Man Comics.

This issue introduces the readers to The Brotherhood, an anti-government group that despises technology and it’s not long before the Caped Agents as well as The Murder Hornet get in on the act and stop the group before they inflict any more havoc. Have stories featuring anti-establishment groups been done before? YES! I should point out, however, that Offenberger makes a concept like this one feel innovative while making sure the group itself poses a serious threat to the agents that will make them memorable as villains should they appear again shortly; The Murder Hornet is by far a character to look out for due to him playing both sides of good and evil to where Offenberger does wonders when it comes to freshening up the anti-hero factor that undoubtedly cast Hornet in a way that no one will look at him the same, especially after his actions in this issue. The action and drama in this issue take center stage in a way that makes G-Man Comics such a thrill to read. However, the development within “Simon N. Kirby: The Agent” never fails to disappoint but offers intriguing plots that highlight why this title is the crown jewel of the G-Man Universe.

Well, that’s it for me this week. Thanks for sticking around and I will see you all next time.
