I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

X-Men: Domino by Todd Degazo (Writer), Ben Raab (Writer), Joe Pruett (Scripter), Craig Kyle (Writer), Christopher Yost (Writer), Adam Warren (Writer, Artist), Anthony Piper (Writer, Artist, Colorist), Daerick Gross (Artist), Brian Stelfreeze (Artist, Plotter, Colorist), Gabriele Dell Otto (Artist, Colorist), James Houston (Colorist), Joe Rosas (Colorist), Guru-eFX (Colorist), Harry Candelario (Inker), David Perrin (Penciler), Richared Starkings (Letterer), LIz Agraphiotis (Letterer), John Costanza (Letterer), VC's Clayton Cowles (Letterer), V C's Cory Petit (Letterer), and VC's Joe Caramagna (Lettterer)


She encounters the evil Pico while vacationing in Rio. Soon she has him taken care of when her old buddy from the X-Force days, Puck, has arrived with some intel about someone she once cared about--the one who got away--who is being held by Gyrich.  So she goes to infiltrate the place and fights off the robots only to find that the men stationed there are already dead and Milo, her former lover is gone, leaving behind his favorite book, Dane's Inferno, which he wouldn't do willingly.  That's when she runs into Deathstrike.  She blows up Deathstrike which is a temporary measure with her but it gives her time to go and find who is behind this and seek out Milo and try to save him.

In the next set of comics, Domino looks younger in the drawings.  Honestly, she looks like a twelve-year-old girl.  But she's working for a man named Jonathan assassinating bad guys and grabbing bad biotoxins off the market.  And he's helping her find out about her invisible mother who seems not to exist.  Only when Jonathan is killed does Domino find out that he was playing both sides--selling to the highest bidder.  She does find out something about her mother and about a mysterious weapon that could destroy a lot. So she follows the evidence where it leads her and finds some surprises along the way,

In the third one, I really enjoyed the way the artist drew this one.  It reminds me a bit of how the Jessica Jones comics are drawn with that mostly black and white filmy smudged look. But it works perfectly for this story of Wolverine and Domino who has gotten on the wrong side of the Assassins Creed and The Hand and needs help getting out of trouble whether she'll admit it or not.

The last two are very short but still very good.  All of the stories in this collection are steller and really introduce you to Domino and give you a great feel for her character and her abilities of good luck and kicking ass.  The art is good too. I enjoyed the art in the first comic story section about Domino and Milo. It was very well done.  Overall this was a fantastic book and I give it five out of five stars.
