Another book that I really have to give props to the creative talent. David Lapham is doing a fantastic job with this story. And it can't be easy. I mean the Spectre has been around for about 60 years. He has such a rich and established history. He's trying to play around with the relationship, and co-existence he has with Crispus, but there's probably only so much he can do. But he does seem to be trying to expand on it a little, without causing any damage to the rich history that the character already has. And I really think he's doing a great job of accomplishing that. In the beginning of the book especially, when we see a glimpse of all the creative, and poetic justice ways that he punishes a bunch of criminals. And of course Eric Battles pencils just add to the eeriness and feel of the book. I've always liked Eric's stuff, but I really like what he's doing with this book. And they're finally starting to bring the story together, from issue #1, about the slumlord who was killed in the basement. It should be a nice wrap up issue next time. And the back-up story is just as good. Brian Azzarello is putting together a really compelling and neat story about Dr. 13. But really it's about a lot of other obscure DC characters also. Dr. 13 just seems to be leading the pack. And again, another artist perfect for the story, is Cliff Chiang. I wasn't sure at first, but I don't think it could've been done, or felt the same way, by anyone else. Overall, a great book, with only 1 issue left.
