Read for the Art - Cloak & Dagger #7 Marc Silvestri

This is one of a handful of Cloak and Dagger stories I've read. They aren't my favorite characters, but with Marc Silvestri drawing this issue I couldn't pass it up.

The story for Cloak and Dagger #7 is basically spelled out on the cover by the legendary Mike Mignola.

Cloak and Dagger board a freighter, hunting for drug smugglers.

Who are Cloak and Dagger?

I believe their origins have been tweaked a bit. Don't want people thinking they can get super powers from average street drugs.

I know the basics about Cloak and Dagger's powers.

Cloak's cape of darkness is mysterious and frightening.

Engulfing people within its cold, dark nothingness. 

Showing them their darkest secrets or fears. 

Dagger as a more physical power. 

Hard light daggers.

Paralyzing her targets, leaving them helpless against Cloak. 

The story might not have been much, but the art. 

Wow indeed.

Happy Valentine's Day - Beware Stranger Danger

I love this cover.

Love Lois' dress and how she's clinging to Superman. Ross Andru and Dick Giordano are awesome.

The story itself I'm not so in love with.

Lois Lane is supposed to be this amazing journalist, an independent woman.

I usually saw her as scheming or trying to trick Superman into loving her.

How does Lois handle Superman being called away on an emergency instead of continuing with their date?

I think rather selfishly, and she almost gets burned. Literally.

Lois, I'm not sure its a good idea to take rides from strangers.

He is handsome and has a limo. What could be the danger?

Now once Superman does arrive, after handling the crisis and flying back to meet you, it might be nice to let him know how happy you are to see him. 

Or you can play games and try to make him jealous. It's just harmless flirting. Right?

Okay, your an adult, making adult decisions.

And Superman is a peeping-tom.

Lois, are you on a date with Erik Estrada?

This has gotten completely out of hand. 

 

You only wanted to make Superman jealous, not have your apartment set on fire by some creep in a tux

In the end though, its all worth it, isn't it Lois?

You got the kiss you'd been looking for all night.

Happy Valentine's Day, and may you get the kiss you've been looking for too.
