I've got to say that I never was a fan of writer Bruce Jones, until this series. But after readin the first 3 parts of this story (issues #21,22 and now #23), I find that he has amazing skills in laying out a characters personal story, within the framework of an action story. While Ka-Zar strives to cooperate with A.I.M. to be re-united with Shanna, she in-turn believes that Kevin and Zabu are dead. The intrigue between both plots running at the same time is awesome. As final note the art-work is fantastic in this book. I highly recommed that if you happened to pick up this issue that you fall back and read issues #21-25 to get the full effect from the story. Otherwise, you may find yourself with a lot of question marks and exclamation points floating around your head.
