I really, really, really like this book. It's a crime drama with a political twist, and a splash of super heroics. Shaken, not stirred, and it gives you a book that really makes you think. First of all we all know that Brian K Vaughan is an awesome author. But now, Tony Harris' artwork is getting even better. I'm not sure what he's doing different, but this issue is incredible. We're still dealing with the fake firefighter that's going around and doing home invasions. We also still have the mystery of the woman who burned herself up on the front steps of city hall. Though we do find out more about that this issue. It seems that the Great Machine, busted her son in 2001 for dealing. He's been in prison ever since, but he recently died when he was stabbed trying to break up a fight. We also have January, a woman who is working covertly in Mayor Hundred's office, but for what purpose we don't know yet. We do know it has something to do with her sister Journal, who previously held her same position. So I'm not sure if it's revenge, or something else. Plus it's NYC so there's always lots of other stuff going on under the surface. Like I said this is an incredible book. Great characters. The world's greatest city. And an author who knows how to put it all together. I recommend this book to everyone.
