There are parts of this collection that are actually pretty good, namely the run by Steve Engelhart with George Tuska and Billy Graham on art。 But as a whole it's just not very good。 There's little that it does well that you can't find in any other comic from this era。 It tries to be this progressive story about a black hero, an innocent convict starting a new life, fighting drug lords and criminals, and it's just。。。 nothing worth mentioning。But there's a two-part story where Luke Cage faces off There are parts of this collection that are actually pretty good, namely the run by Steve Engelhart with George Tuska and Billy Graham on art。 But as a whole it's just not very good。 There's little that it does well that you can't find in any other comic from this era。 It tries to be this progressive story about a black hero, an innocent convict starting a new life, fighting drug lords and criminals, and it's just。。。 nothing worth mentioning。But there's a two-part story where Luke Cage faces off against Doctor Doom and that's really fun! 。。。more

A collection of the first 23 original issues of Luke Cage。 From his first appearance to his name change to Power Man, this is a collection of classic issues that any Luke Cage fan, old or new, should read。 It makes me wish he had his own ongoing series today!
