The Solicitation
"THE GREAT ESCAPE," Part Three
The boys commandeer Nazi transport and high tail it out of Calais. But, before they can get too far, a passenger plane crashes nearby. Bravely checking for survivors, the boys are startled by what...and WHO they find!

The Story
Well of course they survive the blast on the ship from last issue, they have Peter on their side!
The boys decide that they must head to Paris, because that is where the city would be fortified and the German army has no chance of taking the city. I hate to spoil it for our group, but I don't see this turning out the way they expect it to.
Along the way of their walk, they come across some German vehicles that they are looking to take to help them along their way. They get caught of course, but quickly turn the tables and capture the soldiers in order to find some keys for the vehicles.
That's where we meet our Captain Hook.
Not necessarily called that yet, it is currently Kapitan Haken, which I am sure would translate from German as meaning hook. He is the captain of the army scouts that Peter has captured, and he looks forward to encountering Peter.
And what a clash. Now this Captain doesn't have a hook for a hand, but Peter decides to stab him in his left hand during the fight, which I am sure will play a part later on.
The boys get what they want and Haken gets knocked out. Along their short drive, the boys come across some planes. The plane gets shot down and Peter decides to rescue the survivors. Guess the name for the female survivor? Wendy Darling.
This comic continues to surprise me and entertain me when it comes to the introduction of classic characters from the story. Still no idea who the Belle is that Peter wants to find, but I think that everything else is fitting in nicely. The introduction of Haken was perfect. I thought that the ending felt a little rushed compared to the rest of the story in order to get to the cliffhanger ending of finding Wendy, but it was still enjoyable.
The Art
This is a style that still has its problems, but it is growing on me a little. Its sorta like how I don't like the art in Red Hood and the Outlaws, but with certain scenes and pages it all seems to work, it just doesn't work throughout the issue.
For example, in the fight scene, we have Haken with his left hand, which will be stabbed, placed behind him. The next panel has the knife going through the hand as if the hand was coming down on it. It doesn't make any sense as to why the hand would be attacking Peter in a downward motion. What was Haken trying to do, swat at Peter?
The Cover
I'm kinda irked by this cover. The plane crash happens in this issue, but that is no Wendy on the cover. If it is Wendy, then it is the Wendy from future issues and not this one. Honestly it looks more like that Belle character that Peter is looking for.
Grades
Words: 8/10
Pictures: 7/10
Recommend: Definitely worth giving a three issue try for. If this is something that doesn't make you want to turn the page after reading the initial three issues, then this book isn't for you. I like the fun nature of it, and for those looking for some good entertainment, this won't disappoint.
Buy Next Issue: We just got introduced to Wendy, I like where this is going. Consider it bought!
