Creeper #3 - DC


Steve Niles is doing a great job writing this book. He's keeping it in the current environment of the DC universe, while still staying true to it's origins. Great balancing act. And I can't say enough about Justiniano's art. It's fantastic. And it's perfect for this book. We start to get a little involvement from the Batman this issue. He's determined to find out who the Creeper is, and what's going on with him. I don't think he's decided which side of the fence he's on yet. From the blood sample he collects, from the hatchet that the Axeman put in him, he determines that there's two distinctive entities. The red and the green seem to be at war with each other. But he does determine that the red, definitely belongs to Jack Ryder. I also like the way the Steve is writing the Creeper with a dissociative personality. But, they also seem to leech on each other at the same time. Very pseudo psychological. Which, really, is what the Creeper is all about. It's a shame that this is only a six issue mini. I like the direction that this book is going. And I'm really digging the characters. Guess we'll just have to wait and see what the future brings.
