A "War Games" tie-in arc begins here with "Corrigan" Part 1. As the city gangs break into all-out war, Crispus Allen and Renee Montoya stumble into the lair of the Black Spider. After a shooting occurs, Internal Affairs comes in to investigate, but a key piece of evidence goes missing!
Michael Lark does a wonderful job on this issue's main action set piece that has our detectives making their way through a dark and foreboding building, where every shadow looks to hold potential danger. I also have to give the art full marks for offering up a simple but decidedly creepy design for the costumed threat that endangers our detectives, as the page where the character descends from the stairwell, and starts blasting away is an undeniably powerful visual, as is the bit of action that follows his attack on Montoya. There's also a great little quiet moment where we see the potential storm of controversy that is going to enter the lives of our heroes, as we discover why this arc has been given the title Corrigan, with the final panel of this issue doing a wonderful job of showing readers the lower moral depths this character inhabits.
