Dusk Reviews: Lisa Trusiani's 90's Morbius issues.

So I know I left off in the seventies. This is a specific set of reviews I'm doing as a result of an anon ask, covering the 90's Morbius #25-32. One at a time. Now I can't cover everything that led up to the Lisa Trusiani run but the 90's series was generally... crazy. I'll try to cover things as they come up. Also these are 90's comics so... trigger warning for violence, sexual assault, harassment. General crime novel stuff. So without further ado...

First thing we get is an art style change. Craig Gilmore does the pencils here and it's a very dark and gritty sort of style. #25 has two stories, each taking a half of the comic. We're only covering Jagged Edge part 1 because the second half is Drainage System by Derek Robertson and Mike Witherby and it is a TREASURE. It's a standalone single story whereas the continuous story is Jagged Edge so... yeah. We open with Morb taking out some criminals. A staple of the series. He drinks, takes on his more human form and heads to Saint Jude's. Exposition lets us know he's working on Martine's cure still (She was turned full vampire earlier in the series.) Then we cut across town to meet Lena.

She's been abducted from (insert vague wart-torn country here), brought in for a particularly unsavory sex club client to have a disposable plaything. Pausing here to tell you I warned you. We get an aside where an innocent observer gets axed and we get some awkward and uncomfy scenes in the club.

So goddamn uncomfortable. Like... why? So cut to St. Judes. ER doc Michael gets the victim from earlier in who is remarkably still kinda alive and babbling about a 'poor girl'. He thinks, 'oh, guilt free dinner', and decides to track down the men this guy saw. We get some more club stuff, a worker overhearing that Lena is there as a warm body so she sneaks around and opens the upstairs door before getting chased off. This does nothing but give us an open door in a later scene. I really think this author wanted to write a crime novel. So the 'client' is put in a room with Lena in a cowboy costume and... you know what, I'll spare you. you don't have to look at this. Morb scopes the place out a bit, again adding nothing to the plot. Cowboy brandishes a knife and Lena, fearing for her life, slips restraints and hits him in his head with a fan, slicing an ear as Morbius FINALLY shows up and shouts something Morbius would not say in a million goddamn years. Fight me on it.

*DEEP SIGH* So he kills the bastard. Yay, and as others run to see what all the commotion is he grabs Lena to save her and she fights him and yells at him to put her down WHILE THEY ARE BOTH BEING SHOT AT. They land and the simping starts.

Thus begins creepy stalker Morbius. *Deeper sigh* She lectures him about killing others, because I don't know why, she's insane. I'm sorry but I actively dislike the character so much. She's just... there's nothing to her other than three notes ('I lost my family in the war' 'I'm pretty' and 'I'm morally superior') Morb has his feeling hurt and she storms off.

Guys this is bad. So bad. As a start to the arc this is like a 2/10 crying Morbs. Genuinely already regretting my life decisions.

Could have used more hallucination imagery. Very 90’s for a vampire super-anti-hero to fight drug dealers, not so great in retrospect for him to hunt down black teens.

Enemies III (1984) brings us ever more dopes and weirdos to trouble our heroes with. The production values are a bit higher, but a new artist is on the scene: Mike Witherby. His line work is slicker and more profesh, but lacks the madcap energy of Mark Williams. Its still good though.

Perhaps because of the artist switch, this batch seems a bit flatter and more generic to me, which is fine, honestly. The previous books have a surplus of zany character. Stronghammer the Dwarf is a contender for the doofiest doof, an actual dwarf pulled from his fantasy world into our own and subsequently mistaken for a supervillain for some reason. Another contender is the Green Knight, whose head is in his chest, Arnim Zola-style, in a profound misunderstanding of the medieval poem. My absolute favorite is the completely unremarkable mercenary named Bullet, because his real name is Randolph Bullet.

From Over the Edge #6, 1996, by Ralph Macchio, Robert Brown and Mike Witherby. Brown, who drew several issues of this series (and not a lot else, as far as I can tell), is the most devoted acolyte of Todd McFarlane I’ve ever seen.
