John Walker: U.S.Agent #1

Plot

Christopher Priest attempts to create a “D-bag” persona within John Walker the US Agent, and in turn creates an incoherent and racist story that is full of nonsense. From the stereotypical dumb “hillbilles” to the sound of Walker’s shield, this should be the first and last issue of this story. I honestly don’t know whether to call it horrible “comedic timing” or being completely tone deaf to the subject matter. John Walker is not a likeable person, he never has been, recently even being joke/jerk character in “Hawkeye Freefall“. Even if this book was just political, it wouldn’t have bothered me, but for the fact that Priest is leaning into this story with having absolutely zero likable characters, it shows me that there is zero percent reason to purchase this title.
