One of the things about getting an anthology, especially one that is based on a single character, you sometimes have to put yourself in the mindset that one of the stories might be weak because these types of books tend to be somewhat uneven.
Rocketeer Adventures does not follow suit.
After I continued through this book, the thought that spread to mind was that everyone involved was committed by doing right by the late Dave Stevens’ classic character. Beginning with the stunning cover by Alex Ross, an artist whose work sometimes is a bit stiff for my taste. Not here though. The Rocketeer is dramatically soaring high above the earth and beyond the clouds, his gloved fist firmly pressing the button that ignites his rocket pack. This guy is ready to save the day.
