I honestly can't say enough good things about this series. whether you jump on now, grab the back issues, or wait for the trade… you have to read this. Read Full Review

It's just spot on perfection here. Read Full Review
Will Eisner's The Spirit #11 also fills in a bit of story for Ellen who discovers who is behind the assassination plot on her father and why she may not have as much trouble dumping her fiance as she feared. I'd expect both stories to easily wrap-up next month as well. Worth a look. Read Full Review
Things are buidling to a climax. I'll really miss this series.
