December 2024 saw the release of Lightning Strike Tasq Force Annual which features two Phantom stories.
"The Chain" by Tony DePaul and Bret Blevins
"Green Danger" by Timmy Heague and Ryan S. Carr
The cover is by American artist Ryan Carr who is also the artist for the short story that is attached to the annual. It is always great to see new creators working on the Phantom.
From a Phantom perspective, the Phantom is featured on the cover along with an edited version of the recent Daily story "The Chain" by Tony DePaul and Bret Blevins. The short story is by new comers to the Phantom universe Timmy Heague and Ryan S. Carr.
One of the things I love about the Tasq Force issues are the fun content pages. The annual features a four panel Phantom themed story by Cormac Hughes who is a mainstay artist for Tasq Force. These are a highlight and give the annual and subsequent digital comics some fun.
The highlights are the contents and the quality of the printing with colour and thickness of the papers.
The lowlights are the fact that some of the stories have been printed before in the digital Tasq Force comics and the fact that the "Green Danger" story by Timmy Heague and Ryan S. Carr is squashed onto the one page. Understand space is always an issue but the story in my opinion was not done justice and would have been better spread over two pages.
Overall, this is a good comic and I can see the improvement over each issue and I look forward to what else they will release in the next issue(s).
