GATCHAMAN: GALACTOR #4 by Steve Orlando, Pasquale Qualano, Rebecca Nalty and Frank Cvetkovic (Mad Cave Studios) Cover- Kath Lobo
*** POSSIBLE SPOILER WARNING ***
Orlando concludes the conflict by showing how ruthless Katse truly is. The attack on the compound is swift and brutal. There is no point of mercy shown. The systematic attack leads to a fast rising body count. It leaves readers with no doubt about how truly unhinged and dangerous the Galactor second in command truly is.
Once Skywolf (literally) crashes the fight, the chapter speeds towards its close. The climax brings forth a shocking and tragic ending. All the while, Katse never breaks stride. Knowing he is the creator of the chaos, it is a celebratory moment. It drives his ego and need for establishing control. The closing pages tie up loose ends while reminding the audience the true face of evil is waiting and plotting.
Qualano and Nalty bring the action with the electric action. Katse’s attacks range from working in shadows to outright face-to-face. The art builds up the tense atmosphere before the dramatic entrance in the compound. A full page image exposes Katse to the final bosses. This sends everything into the clsoing moments.
Skywolf makes a dramatic entrance into the fight via a full page splash. The faceoff between her and Katse is captured by Katse’s maniacal grin. It ultimately caps off with Katse walking away with Cvetkovic’s lettering putting an exclamation point on the story. Events wind down with a full page image of Katse back where he feels he belongs. It’s a fitting image for a force of nature driven by ego and power.
FINAL POINT: 8.3
Katse’s revenge shows no mercy in an explosive finale. Orlando’s writing brings out the best (or worst) of Katse. Qualano, Nalty, and Cvetkovic leave nothing off limits with the brutality of the Gatchaman’s unstable evil. It proves if you aim for the crown, Kaste’s is one to avoid.
