SEEKER LETTERS



Jim Toland
    I just had to write again to tell you that I just received my copy of Seeker #2 today. Not only did I re-read the first issue, but then I sat and read the 2nd issue right through! This has got to be one of THE BEST stories ever in comics! The background storyline of the different Seekers over time, and how Tracy became who she is now is awesome! And, also, now that the Seeker seems to have re-emerged within Tracy, I’m wondering if it really is her who is doing all the killing there at the end…guess I’ll have to wait until next issue to find out.

    The government has developed a secret agency to handle terrorist situations called the Tactical Advance Counter Strike Unit. In that strike force, the Seeker is top agent and ultimate weapon.
    The current Seeker works both inside and outside the Unit and inside and outside of sanity. That’s because the first costumed super-agent is dead, and lives inside the second Seeker.
    Nice twist.
    She’s also a babe which is a physical cliché that never goes wasted on cliched males. If this sounds like plots from TV’s Mission: Impossible starring The Avengers and guesting on Pretenders, you have good ears. But if these similarities sound unoriginal, listen again. The first issue of Seeker is an outstanding comic book.
    The writing is excellent and tightly plotted. Gary Reed writes in crisp, believable dialog and reveals details in both plot and characters with realistic, piecemeal timing. In particular, his characters are well developed within the limitations of one issue. You’ll want to know more about them because you’ll know enough to care.
    The art is excellent. In a realistic style, penciler Chris Massarotto draws what is needed and no more. His visual storytelling is clear, dynamic and distinctive. You’ll wish there were a few more black areas on his pages, but you’ll enjoy every page nevertheless.
    Hurrah! There is no real nudity or foul language here!
