How were Taskmaster's minis? Recommend?

I recommend both, but the UDON mini was the superior one. One of the best mini-series of the past decade, as well.

Pretty high words there morpheus. I'm I'm #8 of Invincible Iron Man so far which you have recommended in the past, I hope UDON Taskmastuh lives up to that as well.

At least I'm sure K4tz will back me up about UDON TM, too, lol.

Have not read the UDON mini, but Unthinkable is excellent.

LOL, no. I just don't know how you like IIM so far, and I was hesitant.
But that Iron Man sig put the things under their correct perspective.

I love the way Palo did the art in Unthinkable when TM was using the abilities he'd copied.

I loved the art in general, unconventional as it may had been. And yes, the depictions of TM's skills were a nice touch.

Definitely. I wasn't a big fan of his work on Moon Knight (Dwon South) but it seemed better in Unthinkable.

I'm interested in Taskamster now, can anyone suggest some good stuff, he's featured in?

He's in Agent X fairly prominently.
On his recent mini-series though, I felt it was written well and highly enjoyable to read. However, I don't think that explanation of his origins fits within continuity. Taskmaster has never before given off any amnesia vibes to anyone. It feels more like a retcon.

Warning: Spoilers.So, in his first mini-series it states he has a complete photographic memory and can remember every moment of his life in perfect clarity. Exhibit A) Here. Then in his immediately following volume he suddenly forgets who he is any time he learns too many fighting styles. Exhibit B) Here. Do writers just ignore a characters established canon, or do they never bother reading it to begin with? Either one is a major professional error that keeps happening in comics. Do they think the story they have in their head is more important than minor facts like who the character is and what he can do? It's not. To me, if you can't write a character properly, don't write them at all. No matter how good your story is otherwise.

His recent mini was pretty good, but contradicts nearly everything about his past. I still swear by UDON's name seeing that the first mini is among my favourites from the past decade. I wouldn't really recommend Agent X, honestly. The whole series is mostly a joke.
