Domino has long been one of my favorite comic book characters. She doesn’t get the props she deserves, but she’s kind of a female version of Deadpool. Which reminds me, I need to tell you something about Deadpool at the end.
Neena Thurman was the only surviving member of a government-funded program to breed the perfect weapon.
I’ll give that a moment to sink in…
Neena is a mutant with a strange power. She can create a probability field anywhere she can see that put the odds of every situation clearly in her favor. Essentially she has good luck and others have bad luck.
It’s an odd superpower, but I wouldn’t turn that down. As a result of the testing they did on her, Domino has a unique facial feature that makes her hard to miss. She’s become a mercenary, who coincidentally has a mouth on her, thus making her the female merc with a mouth, the male version of Deadpool.
In Hotshots, Domino once again teams up with her pals Outlaw, a cowgirl bounty hunter who doesn’t mess around, and Diamondback, a demolitions expert who is well, a little uptight.
They’re joined on this mission to retrieve a piece of green something that fell from the sky, landing in Antarctica and then discovered by Argentinian scientists. The Hotshots are joined by Black Widow. Yes, that Black Widow. Also on the squad are a rich, rogue Wakandan named Atlas Bear and a South Korean version of Black Widow named White Fox.
They’re tasked with tracking down this thing no matter what. After finding out what they found out (I’m not giving everything away) they’re going to be glad all six are there.
The climax to this issue is easily on the last page where Deadpool rides up on a red moped with a very large gun and tells the Hotshots that he’s there to kill them all. And then the word every comic book reader hates to see appear.
Next.
Next: The Creation Constellation. Go to your store and grab this ASAP. It just came out this week and get it on your pull list so you’re ready when #2 comes out.
Domino Hotshots gets a well-deserved 5 out of 5 purple goatees!
