Taskmaster: The Rubicon Trigger

A real gem of a comic, very funny and true to character. Taskmaster always shines in any comic he's in.

I would have expected the book to be a lot bigger than it was for the price but my son loves it

This is a very short collection of the Taskmaster being framed for Maria Hill's murder and having to solve the mystery of her death while being chased by Black Widow who is out to kill him for it. The action keeps moving fast as the mystery unravels, and we see a lot of very cool moments as Taskmaster has to draw on his photographic reflexes to fight his way out of trouble again and again. His fight with Hyperion is the highlight of the story for me, as we see how he might have defeated Superman (Hyperion is based off of him) and try to win against impossible odds.In the end, the story finishes nicely with a twist you'll probably see coming, but it's satisfying anyway. Taskmaster is one of those characters that are better in small bits rather than an ongoing series, and if you enjoy the character with his flaws and all, you'll enjoy this great story.

This feels like a plot for a Mission Impossible movie, so it's a decent read. The art was alright and Taskmaster was pretty funny (and not depressing like his previous limited series). However, this volume is overprice as hell.

I had a good time reading this one. Taskmaster obviously shined and I really found the story and action to be interesting and engaging. The ending was also solid too.

Always a marvel favorite of mine. Taskmaster has so much potential but has been underdeveloped for years. I am pumped.

Great little story that highlights what’s most fun about the character. Def recommend if you already know taskmaster some.
