I.M.O. Review of Solomon Grundy #3 (DC Comics) By Eddie R.

More of the same.

Solomon Grundy #3 marks the halfway point in this story arc. When we last left Cyrus Gold, he was in the arms (and branches) of the villainous Poison Ivy. Seeing an opportunity to do some eco –terrorism, Ivy tries to brainwash Gold using her toxic kiss, only to have it backfire, leaving Ivy with a really bad taste in her mouth after the experience.



Meanwhile across town, we see Alan Scott and his wife Molly, enjoying a brief intimate moment just before Alan has to rush off to clean up another mess made by Grundy. By now, Gold is wandering through the sewers. Continually plagued by visions, voices and flashbacks, someone is tormenting Cyrus Gold, but who that someone is, one can only guess? If you look closely in the shadows though, one might be able to find a suspect.

With more murders under his belt, Cyrus Gold sets into motion another change into the mindless swamp creature Solomon Grundy, continuing the cycle of death and rebirth. However, at the end of this regeneration cycle, a voice asks Grundy who his “true” enemy is? This sets Grundy off on a path of destruction leading to an ultimate showdown between the monster, and his possible maker.

I hope the next issue will shed more light on this dark subject.

7.5/10
