Creeper #6 - DC


This one wraps up the Creeper storyline. We see more of Jack Ryder this issue. Which is the way it should be. I mean, after all, the Creeper is a very multidimensional character. Literally. Anyways, he breaks out all the freaks from the place where Yatz and Joker were hiding them. So now he has to go after Yatz. But not as the Creeper, as Jack Ryder. He's going to let the public take care of him. He goes on his show and tells all of Gotham what he's done, leaving out a yellow and green part of it obviously, and asking for everyone to be on the lookout for him. The phones start ringing immediately. And before long they have him in custody. Now Jack just has to figure out what to do about the antidote that Batman gave him. Should he use it and get rid of the Creeper? I think we all know what he's going to decide. The final panel is him out on the street patrolling. Justiniano is back this issue for the pencils. His style lends itself perfectly to a series like this. To bad you can't sign him up for an ongoing one. But, as the closing box says, " . . . look for the Creeper somewhere on the rooftops of Gotham". And that's it for this series. Hopefully DC utilizes him, now that he's been "reinvented". It'd be a shame for him to be shoved away in a drawer someplace.
