It seems only logical to team up the ultimate man of action: Jackie Chan, with the ultimate action comic book illustrator in a publication that showcases both of their talents.
Spartan X is as near to human perfection as possible. Many peg him as superhuman. Fast, athletic, intelligent and trained in all the martial arts, Spartan X (Jackie Chan) relishes each challenge presented to him.
Often irreverent, humorous and flippant Spartan X in nonetheless a consummate professional who does his job and does it well regardless of the risks.
The story is interesting and exacting but what I find most appealing is the art of Michel Golden.
Michael is one of only a handful of artists who can draw anything and draw it well.
Never one to adhere to a formula comic book his illustrations are dynamic, unique, fluid and pull you in as a reader.
Every time I read a comic book featuring his art I’m practically out of breath by the time I’ve read it through.
This was true when he drew The Micronauts, Nam and fill-in issues for Batman and Doctor Strange, Bucky O’Hare and so forth.
Another unique ability of his is the talent to draw different genres. He’s good at realism, humorous cartoons, horror, science fiction and so forth.
For an early showcase of his work check out The Avengers Annual #10 that introduced Rogue. Wow!
While Spartan X only lasted four issues it’s well worth the effort to track down the issues. You won’t be sorry.
