___ $3, 22pgs.; some ADs. ___ How the heck anyone gives any issue of this series a "1" is just beyond me! Reviewing after the finale, i find every issue to rise above a great deal of comics available today. i dare say its one of DC's better mini-series, no surprise it being from Vertigo. The Art continues to impress, shock and sicken me in a good way. The story and writing started slow but develops well and picks up steam. Niles has done a great job in making me care about these ghouls and that clueless family. Keep it up i say! Maybe something short for Uncle Creepy?
