Storyline: Not Specified
Date: June 18th, 2008
Price: $3.50 US
Writer: Jay Faerber
Artists: Jon Sommariva and Fcolor
Synopsis: Gemini is one of The Constellation’s top super-operatives. So why have they sent another one of their operatives, the Lynx, after him?
Opinion: Just like its predecessor Gemini 2 is just as much as a thrill ride as the first. The surprise ending of the last comic is quickly resolved and a new plot twist develops just as quickly. This comic keeps you enthralled! The art is unique (at least to me, a noob) and very apropos to this comic. The character development of all involved is well done, including the new people who are introduced this issue.
The uniqueness of this comic is the fact the the superhero is not aware of his alternate identity, nor is his “normal” alter ego away of the superhero. This makes for a very interesting story where a group of people run our hero’s life both the benign and the superhero. Of course the new girl to this group of people has screwed up which caused a big shock in the last issue. Now to rectify the situation they must send out reinforcements to bring the superhero home without him finding out about his normal alter ego.
I know I’ve already spoiled some of the story, read on to find out the rest…
The introduction of Lynx as the character sent to clean up the new girl’s mess is well orchestrated and his rescue of the situation shows that Gemini is not the only normal guy who doesn’t know he’s a superhero. The one whole in this plan (or maybe a plot twist~I don’t know yet) is the Gemini doesn’t recognize Lynx. You’d think that if these two characters had the same group of people controlling them that they’d fight together in other battles. Gemini has the opposite reaction to Lynx and picks a fit. The only logical explanation is that there is some reason the company keeps these two from fighting together. We’ll have to read on and see for ourselves.
Of course I’m leaving out the best part of the story out…the ending! ANOTHER new character is introduced but we have some sort of an idea who she is just from the way the controllers talk about her. That’s all I’m gonna give you folks! You’ll have to buy the comic to find out more. Of course I’ll probably end up spoiling it for you next time but you’ll just have to keep waiting…

1Lol, this sounds like a good and interesting storyline, too.
Heh, the idea for some reason is just reminding me of the Weapon X project for reason … Hehe.

2Well yeah, it tastes a bit like other stories - but I personally haven’t seen anything this interesting. How the “controllers” work is extremely interesting and this is definitely a comic whose time has come to be believable.

6We had a really good one but the guys just got tired of it because they also sold pokemon cards and the such and they ended up pretty much babysitting all the kids after school while they played their pokemon.

8You could try tfaw.com or comixology. I have no idea how it works, but I use those sites to look up comic info for lists. You could scope those out and see if they’d help.
