3.5

Perhaps Tom King’s weakest effort. I get the gimmick here: all of the characters appeared in the 1st Issue Special anthology from the 70s, and Danger Street is an attempt to tie all those separate characters together into a single narrative. It just isn’t very compelling. There are a few standout moments, with the issue featuring Manhunter and Codename: Assassin’s duel being a highlight: it has a real Man in Black versus Inigo Montoya from The Princess Bride mixed with the Man in Black versus Vizzini from The Princess Bride vibe. Overall, though, it lack the thematic cohesion that holds together King’s best work.
