Creeper #2 - DC

What I like about this book so far, is that it really pays homage to the original Creeper origin story. It's really a modern reworking of the exact story. A little bit is changed here and there to keep it up to date, but it's essentially the same. Of course Justiniano wasn't the artist back then, but now. . . . this guy is amazing. His framing process, and the flow from frame to frame and page to page is exquisite. I mean we're still dealing with Jack Ryder. And we're still dealing with him stumbling across a lab experiment when he goes after a crime family for revenge. He then gets turned into this alter ego. Which is really what all this is about, Schizophrenia. When he's out there in the real world, he runs across the Batman. Classic interaction, "Who are you?!". "Me? I'm the . . uh . . Creeper". "Good or Bad?" "Good. Yeah . . . .we're good". "You don't sound so sure. If you change your mind, we'll meet again Creeper". He's not really a hero, but as he's jumping around the night, he comes across the Axeman, whom he assumes the Batman is after. They battle back and forth and finally Creeper takes the guy down, because he figures that's what Batman would want. He finally makes his way to the Hewson mansion, only to find it exploded from within, because of the lab experiment. He comes to a compromise with Hewson, because of his grief, and because Hewson agrees to stay out of his way when he goes after the Doctor. But on his way out, he comes across another misshap of the "Smart-Skin" experiment, a huge ugly monster named Gavin. To be continued. . .
