The Bad Guy Wins: In the end, John kills the Three Bills and Calamity but is required to work for Maria in return.

This act led to the High Table, an international organization composed of twelve powerful crime families, to put a large bounty on John's head and the New York Continental's manager, Winston Scott, saw himself forced to revoke John's membership in the Continental, rendering him excommunicado. Due to their friendship, he gave John an hour to flee for his life. Through his old allies in the Ruska Roma as well as the assistance of Sofia Al-Azwar, John met The Elder, the head of the Table, who agreed to forgive his sins and nullify his excommunicado status if he executed Winston. We're also not sure, at what point of John's life this story takes place. From the interactions, it's before he met Daisy, and before he build up his reputation as the most dangerous killer in these circles. But, for the most part, the story seems to float in limbo. Agatha: Coven of Chaos (Disney+, December 2023), a sequel to Wandavision that follows up on what happened to Kathryn Hahn’s villain. Overconfidence: John was often overconfident of his reputation, which can be seen when he seeks help from "The Bowery King," when he asked Winston to inform his would-be assassins that he will kill anyone who comes after him and when he informed Shimazu that he would kill all the members of the High Table until there was none remaining. The Quiet One: John, natch. However, he is noticeably quieter and colder than the films as he has yet to meet Helen.John keeps a photo of himself with Helen in the New York Public Library, concealed in Russian Folktale by Alexander Afanasyev (1864). Faughnder, Ryan (September 26, 2019). "Lionsgate names Jeffrey Hirsch CEO of Starz". Los Angeles Times . Retrieved January 10, 2020. Expert Motorcyclist: John was a very talented motorcyclist who could evade enemies and even engage in combat while cycling.

Weirdly, we get the conniving classiness I expected from one of the other 'villain' type ladies, but she still attempts to ambush someone in a Continental hotel. Which, y'know, anyone with even passing knowledge of the universe this takes place in knows is incredibly stupid and not something a character we're expected to believe is intelligent, conniving, and powerful would consider - especially over someone she doesn't even personally hate enough for the risk to be worthwhile. But I guess even the very vague logic of the movies was too hard to uphold in comic form. 😒

Written by Greg Pak (Marvel's The Totally Awesome Hulk, DC's Action Comics) with art by Giovanni Valletta, the comic will arrive in September. Peak Human Durability: John was highly resilient and sturdy by human standards. He was able to survive multiple gunshot wounds, stabbings and blunt force trauma without feeling much of an effect. His greatest feats of durability were when he survived falling off the Continental Hotel and when he survived falling numerous stories in Killa's nightclub in Berlin, as well as surviving multiple falls in Paris, especially down the stairs leading to Sacré Cour. Badly injured and running out of time, John goes to the New York Public Library where he has stashed away a photograph of his wife Helen, as well as a rosary and more markers inside a hollowed-out book of Russian folktales. While there, a giant assassin (Boban Marjanovic) tries to kill him before the hourlong grace period is up, but fails when John murders him with a library book.

But none of the few good points or bits and pieces of interesting ideas can make up for the absolute nonsense that is Calamity Jane and how the choice to introduce such a ridiculous character ruined both the tone and enjoyability of this comic. There are also some really brain-breaking life choices made by John toward the end, but that pales in comparison and I'm too lazy to elaborate. I'm just so disappointed and annoyed right now, and feel I've already wasted enough of my mental energy on this. However, John was a man who is worth his reputation as The Boogeyman for his lethality as he never failed on his missions. Despite his calm and collected behavior, once angered or taken by vengeance, he would stop at nothing until he kills his target no matter who or what stands in his way. After a puppy from his wife, which was the last posthumous gift from her not to be alone, was killed and his car stolen, John set out on a journey for revenge, which was successful but also created other problems for himself on future events.Peak Human Agility: John was agile in his movements, being able to perform and incorporate various jumps and rolls in his fighting style with ease. Skilled Equestrian: John was able to easily mount and ride a horse through the city to evade enemies, even lowering himself to hang off the side and using the horse as cover while riding with little difficulty. John was also able to ride a horse through the desert in Morocco easily, able to keep up with Elder's men. Peak Human Speed: John was extremely fast, especially for a man of his age. He was able to outrun younger opponents, and in combat he could move too fast for them to react.
