This is what I've got figured out so far. First and foremost, this is definitely not Adrian Chase. But . . this guy knew Adrian. He stops at his grave to talk to him. Also he's got JJ helping him, who also helped Adrian. This guy doesn't think of himself as a hero. He's not out to stop crime, or round up petty criminals. His targets are all mobs and mob related people. And he's doing it because he's trying to make up for his own past. So either he was in the mob, worked for the mob, or maybe his family was just hurt by the mob because of something that he did. Right now he's posing as Joe Flynn. But that's not who he really is. JJ has this whole elaborate thing set up where he inserts the Vigilante into the life of probably someone that he's killed. They cover it up so no one knows they're dead, and then he puts this guy into their lives with skin-grafts, and finger-prints, and everything . . . so their family wouldn't even be able to tell the difference. He's also after Jericho, which is why he's popped up on Nightwing's radar so much. But he's not looking to punish Joey, he wants to find out who in the mob he was working with. And then on top of that, they've got these Cross-Dress Murders going on right around them that neither Vigilante or Nightwing are currently involved with. I'm pretty sure we're going to see more on that though. The issue ends with Nightwing heading back to Gotham and Vigilante heading over to the Titans compound to try to question Joey. Next issue we'll see how that works out for him. I thought this was a pretty decent story by Marv Wolfman. I also liked Rick Leonardi's pencils. I'm glad to see him doing some regular work again. I like his style. We're only on issue #3, so it's a little early to make to much of a judgement on this series, but . . it's interesting. So far it's kept me intrigued.
