What happens when the former head (literally) of an evil organization decides to gather up an assortment of down-and-out bad guys for a heist? Double-crosses and triple-crosses, of course!
MODOK, former A.I.M. Scientist turned monster/Chief Scientist of A.I.M. turned outcast.is after a powerful energy source. He gathers up a number of super-villains to steal it from China. Along the way, he and they face the threat of his former employers and its new Chief Scientist (who has a surprising tie to MODOK) and each other. Oh yeah, and the Mandarin decides to crash the party, as well.
MODOK's 11 is a well-paced story that doesn't make the mistake of taking itself too seriously. It's a quick read, and is a good read if you're into comics / the Marvel Universe and don't insist that everything must be soaked in pathos and hidden meanings. Have fun with it its creators obviously did.
RATING: 4 stars.
