#!mpact comics

This title was part of the launching of DC Comics' !mpact line in 1991, based on a reformulation of some forgotten Golden Age characters. I remeber the ads when I was a kid, but really never seen any issue since they didn't reach the Spanish market (for obvious reasons).

Really, a dull starting for a "new era", as it was announced on the cover. Too much to cope for Tom Lyle (with Mark Waid as dialogist). A standard origin story that maybe "innovates" with the fact of the romantic interest of the hero (a reporter and news anchorwoman ) knows his secret identity from the begining, and helps him to establish his personal brand.

As half of superhero titles published in early 90s, this one is contaminated with the bad digested influence of Watchmen, TDK, Killing Joke, etc., presenting a psicho-killer arch enemy obsesed with the reporter that compares himself with Jack the Ripper.

Absolute 0 interest on reading the further issues.
