What makes it special, as usual, is the presence of the three main leads. As usual, Cliff Secord is a regular, down-to-earth guy, whose only special qualities are his rocket pack and his desire to do the right thing. He still has trouble making ends meet, and he still has trouble with his relationship with Betty. For her part, Betty loves Cliff so completely, but refuses to be pushed to the sidelines when it comes to his heroic adventures.

And cantankerous mechanic Peevy is still the voice of sanity, bringing Cliff down to earth when he starts getting too crazy. The art, by J. Bone, is about a million miles away from the detailed, realistic drawings of Dave Stevens, at first glance. However, as with the work of previous artist Chris Samnee, the art has its roots in the great work of artists of the past. Everything we need to see is in the art, without extraneous detail cluttering anything up.

Overall, this is another great addition to the Rocketeer canon. As a fan of the character, I found myself having to make a choice when IDW brought him back. I either had to ignore these stories, or accept that if I wanted new Rocketeer stories, they would have a different feel than the originals. Jun 23, Online Eccentric Librarian rated it liked it Shelves: Hollywood Horrors follows the adventure of s deco streamlined hero with a jetpack Cliff Secord. The story follows dastardly Otto Rune, who has a nefarious plan that hurts Cliff's dame's friend.

The dame, Betty, goes undercover to find out more and faces danger as a result. Meanwhile, some goons want Cliff's backpack and will stop at nothing to take it from him. Will Cliff be able to save Betty, uncover More reviews and no fluff on the blog http: Will Cliff be able to save Betty, uncover Otto Rune, keep the backpack from being airlifted, and still keep his hair coiffed? Well, you get the idea that this is told in pulpy silliness and fun.

The book is full color and collects the full story arc of four comics. So the story is a light tongue-in-cheek fair with very bright neon colors and lots of sass and inside jokes. One problem I had with the book was the tone. At times, it is an homage to the original s era with words like 'cockamime', girls who are simple and in need of constant saving, and a simple homespun hero.

But then there are the anachronistic modernisms - girls saying, "as if! As well, Cliff's girlfriend Betty looks like Betty Page, has Betty Page's career, but is supposed to be from the s, not the s. As well, the whole feel of s Hollywood was lost somewhere. I think the author was going for "My Girl Friday" but just ended up with Betty Page after a lobotomy.

Another problem was that Cliff spends most of the book not really doing anything except flying around and then complaining.

He wasn't really a likeable character - I missed the Earnest and daring Cliff Secord of earlier comics. I thought it was interesting to tell the tale from a narrator. But that also might have further distanced me from the characters and really liking them.

So, definitely not a bad book but the inconsistencies in tone were a bit frustrating for me. Provided as an ARC from the publisher. Dec 02, Suzanne rated it really liked it Shelves: For those who've seen the movie or read the previous adventures, Cliff Secord is back for more action. This time he's up against an evil mastermind that is using mental powers and a mechanical monster to make money off the Hollywood elite.

If you enjoy comic book heroes, or are already a Rocketeer fan, you will enjoy this trip to the past. Jan 27, Cale rated it liked it. His Rocketeer story isn't quite as funny as those, but it does a very good job of capturing the feel of the 30's era serials, and the glamour of 30's era Hollywood.

Jun 19, Scott wachter rated it really liked it. The volume serves as a follow-up more to the film version than the original comics, but is has the same pulp adventure spirit.

The art pairs well with action and overall tone of the setting and characters. My main issues with the book have to do with the side elements of the story.

The protagonist spend the first half of the book being harassed by Hughes' goons over ownership of the rocket pack, only to be given it back at the end by the same people to serve as its 'test pilo fun stuff here guys. The protagonist spend the first half of the book being harassed by Hughes' goons over ownership of the rocket pack, only to be given it back at the end by the same people to serve as its 'test pilot' in a slice of deus ex machina. There are also a pair of detectives that continue to show at exactly the right moment to shove the plot forward via their expositional contrivances.

Feb 26, Paul rated it liked it Shelves: A fun simple read, with fun simple art. Lots of 30s stars and pulp heroes walking around, and they're not all that easy to identify I got taken by surprise when I realized who the narrator was supposed to be, and it kind of ruined the "voice" I'd given him in my head Not the greatest Rocketeer story or art out there, but then again, nobody'll ever match the original Dave Stevens stories and art.

Jun 30, Diz rated it really liked it Shelves: I'm a big fan of the Rocketeer, so I was happy to see that the main characters Cliff and Betty are written well.

Their characters match the tone of the characters in Dave Stevens original series. Surprisingly, I'm also a fan of the cartoony art style that they went with--clean lines and large solid fields of color. The one thing I didn't like is there is a bit too much narration, but it drops away towards the end of the book.
