4.0 out of 5 stars The bliss of nostalgia, 10 Nov 2007
By S. Bentley "stuarthoratiobentley" (North Yorkshire) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This takes me back to being eight years old. Death's Head was introduced in Transformers as a bounty hunter able to take on Galvatron and became a favourite among us little kids. He graduated to his own series and then faded away. Which didn't make sense to me then, as I didn't understand sales figures. Death's Head was a great character, an idiosyncratically designed robot with intriguing speech patterns, yes? He was a bounty hunter, sorry, freelance peacekeeping agent and he was only interested in making a profit (though what he spent the money on, we never found out).

The strip was very sc-fi. In this second volume, Death's Head has started to travel through time, beginning with an adventure with the Sylvester McCoy incarnation of Doctor Who at the end of the pier whilst being menaced by the Silas Greenback-like Josiah Dogbolter. He then ends up on top of Four Freedoms Plaza, ready for an encounter with the Fantastic Four, that then rockets him to the year 2020, and a meeting with the Iron Man of that era. From there the story reprints the Body in Question a fully painted adventure that reveals who created Death's Head and why he is the way he is. From there there's a frothy adventure about a priceless vase featuring She-Hulk, a slightly confusing part of a multi-part Fantastic Four adventure that features Death's Head, a couple of short stories and a What If that deals with what would have happened had editorial not decided to replace Death's Head with Death's Head II, the less charming but more popular version of the character.

It's all good rambunctuous fun with no sense that the writer is being limited in what he's doing. Most of the writing is by DH creator Simon Furman, but even where other writers use the character, he is so strong that there is no deviation from the template. The art is also very good. I was always a big fan of Geoff Senior's art as a kid, and it still impresses. Future superstar Bryan Hitch contributes too, and though he's not reached the dizzy heights he would attain with his work on Authority and Ultimates, he still makes pretty pictures. And the work of Art Wetherell and Mike Collins ain't too shabby neither.

As with all of Panini's trade paperbacks this is a sturdy volume with thick covers and good quality paper, and there's a nice foreword by Mr Furman with the tantalising revelation that there was once going to be a new Death's Head series, but it was dropped in favour of DHII. Once you've read this volume, I'm sure that like me you'll be hoping that somehow that material will resurface. And that Panini will put out a Dragon's Claws collection too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Freelance Peace-keeping Agent, Yes? 2, 3 Mar 2008
By Darren Wilson "Captain Yorkshire" (York, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This second volume is even more sublime that the first. Bryan Hitch's art enters its psuedo Alan Davis phase (which is no bad thing) and the writing by Simon Furman continues to enhance the character. Marvel UK strips always seem that touch more violent and humourous than Marvel US and this is no exception. From a rematch with the 7th Doctor, to encounters with the Fantastic Four and Iron Man 2020, the original series concludes and then the astonishing 'Body In Question' is reprinted here. For completetist the collection includes Death's Head's US appearances in She-Hulk (again by Furman and Hitch) and then a rather confusing cameo in Fantastic Four. I read this when it came out but anyone coming to this new will be very confused by this chapter- but that is a small gripe. It concludes with a Marvel Comics Presents short and one more Doctor Who crossover (featuring the 2nd, 4th, 7th and Nth Doctors!). As an extra and, possibly a snub, the 'What If?' issue featuring our anti-hero is here also, brilliantly pencilled by the amazing Geoff Senior. If only Marvel hadnt killed off this fantastic mechanoid in favour of the usual big-body/small-head/big-gun that arrived in the 90's. A revival is sorely needed.

After reading these two volumes (and the Captain Britain ones)I cant help but crave the return of Marvel UK's heydays, hopefully Panini will see fit to provide more collections. Absolom Daak, more Captain Britain, Motormouth, Dragon's Claw's and the original Knight's Of Pendragon would all be welcome!

2.0 out of 5 stars not near as good as volume 1, 22 Sep 2008
By godzilla78 (northern ireland) - See all my reviews
  
Whilst the 1st volume is superb, this is a huge let-down. The stories aren't near as much fun whilst the appearances in Fantastic 4 and She-hulk are rather forgettable due to the way the character is handled. The body in question doesn't hold up as well after all this time and the What if? chapter is rather daft. Certainly Death's head had better days than this but for the sake of nostalgia it's worth a look.
