It's very okay. This is a fun story, fast paced, and quintessential pulpy. As other reviews have mentioned previously it's been done better. (Especially in comparison to Mike Mignola's Lobster Johnson and others). This would be a great fun story for kids though.

i had not heard of doc unknown before picking this book up off the library shelf so i had 0 expectations for this. it wasn't something groundbreaking but it was a pretty cool romp with a good ending and nazi ass-kicking, wahoo!

"Combing your hair different and wearing a pair of goggles isn't much of a disguise"
A fun, cheesy read with no real depth. Doc Unknown has a Batman like vibe with the visuals of Matt Murdock (thanks to the red glasses and suit), and that's all there really is to his character. Little effort is put in to give him an arc, with some of the villains receiving more development than the protagonist. That being said, the character growth all happens at the very end, making it feel incredibly rushed and somewhat undeserved. The plot also feels very hastily put together. There are moments where a lot is happening, and then sections of absolutely nothing of consequence. This is not a standout amongst the sea of choice that's available, but it's enjoyable for what it is.
