In this new story arc, Sam's second case begins "Here": As the freshly spawned gang war between Ma and Jones rages across the supernatural metropolis, Sam is enlisted by the new powers that be to infiltrate the amorphous Boroughs of the city in search of a terrorist cell planning to wreak havoc on the fabric of Here itself.
Dead Letters is five-for-five so far, gang, and this issue is a great jumping on point. It's basically an entirely new "mission" for Sam, and it fills you in on the salient points of his backstory so that you won't be adrift. If you read it and decide you want to go back further, or if you're a start-from-the-beginning kind of person (I feel you, there), the first trade just came out and it's lovely. Buy them both. Buy them all. You won't regret it. Read Full Review

Dead Letters #5 provides an interesting new story arc with a whole new set of problems piled on top of Sam's existing problems.
