BLOOD WORK: COMICS IN REVIEW: INFINITY WARS ~ SLEEPWALKER #3

Hello everyone! As some of you may know, I am writing for the website COMICONVERSE. I have been covering the current comic books from Marvel Comics and BOOM! Studios such as Doctor Strange and Kong of Skull Island. And really anything I want to review.

For myself and anyone else interested I am documenting each of my articles here at Blood Work.

INFINITY WARS: SLEEPWALKER #3

Look at that cover! My gosh, that is a Man-Thing of beauty!

So, we're three issues in and I am in heaven! Sleepwalker is a longtime favorite of mine (since I was a kid) and a longtime neglected character by Marvel. Writers Chad Bowers and Chris Sims are now heroes of mine for championing such favorites of mine like Death's Head, Darkhawk, and Sleepwalker. And they have some crazy awesome ideas they're employing here.

Once upon a time a writer by the name of Jim Starlin first brought all the Infinity Stones together. And one stone in particular became a great focus for him: the Soul Stone. The Soul Stone's primary keeper has been Adam Warlock, a Starlin favorite. Starlin revealed that a whole other world existed within the Soul Gem, a place naturally referred to as "Soul World." Logic dictates that the other Infinity Gems would also have worlds within them as well, right? Well, no writer has ever delved into such a story... until now.

This book is revealing loads about the Infinity Gems that have never been explored. Sleepwalker and a host of handpicked companions are traveling through the six worlds of the Infinity Stones, five of which have never been shown in a comic before. In short, I'm loving it. It's totally cosmic and crazy and perfectly tailored for Sleepwalker (who, if you recall, took part in the original Infinity Trilogy. He even took on fairly significant roles in Infinity War and Infinity Crusade).

This book is incredibly special and I hope Marvel sees that and makes moves to continue it in some form or another. My choice: keep the same writers and artists on this book and give them a team book consisting of Sleepwalker, Darkhawk, Death's Head, and Nova. Hell, let's throw in Death's Head II and his partner Tuck as well. And let's keep Man-Thing Thang Thoom too. And bring Manny's friend Jennifer Kale along too. Okay, now I'm done.

I'm begging you, Marvel. Do this for me!
