The initial five issues of Black Terror had Jim Krueger taking charge of the scripts and Mike Lily handling the artwork. However, the duo of Phil Hester and Alex Ross who have taken over since seem to do a far better job in this thrilling series. The issue is filled with some great action that has been projected beautifully by the writer. The well crafted airbrush illustrations make it a really dramatic issue filled with some swirling action. Readers may have some complaints about the choice of the colors but they do manage to make the story look lively.

The issue has some strong narration from Phil Hester which has been matched really well by Lilly. The story has an old fashioned feel to it which might appeal to the readers. It would bring out the sentiments in readers who would agree that today’s comics are no match for what one used to read in the old days. Black Terror Vol.9 is a traditional story which would certainly entertain its readers a great deal.

It is a typical story of a villain who feigns to be someone else and has a hero who is trying to set things right. You may have come across a number of similar stories. Overall, the publication from the Dynamite Entertainment is a good one and the presence of the huge flying pirate ship towards the end of the story would keep the readers excited about the next issue. If you have a liking for traditional comics, shedding $3.50 for this issue should not be a difficult decision for you to make.
