I really like this book. Too bad it's only around for 8 issues. Hopefully, they have something planned for after that. David Laphma and Eric Battle are just doing a fantastic job with the Spectre lead story. And they get better at it every issue. Crispus, aka Spectre, takes out 2 psycho brothers, a guy who strangled his business partner and a poor guy who got stuck trying to cover for his brother in laws infidelity, and stepped over the line in the process. All the while he keeps hovering about the Granville Tower Apartments, because he still doesn't know what really happened there when the slumlord was killed. He also makes a visit to his old house to check in on his wife and kids. He's not very happy about what he finds, or what he doesn't find. The complete lack of wanting to live or carry on. The back up story, Dr. 13, is also pretty cool. You already should know that I think Brian Azzarello is one of the best authors out there. Well, he lives up to that with this story also. With Cliff Chiang as the artist, they have a pretty cool story rolling out here. First there's I Vampire, a ghost Pirate, a encampment of primate Nazi's in a jungle in the French Alps, a caveman frozen in a block of ice they've been carrying around, and now with this issue the Haunted Tank and Jeb Stuart. That's a lot for a back up story. You should definitely check out this book.
