Rory Regan has long struggled to reconcile the burden he carries as the Ragman, protector of society's forgotten, with his own strained faith. Could the souls he has consigned to redeem themselves within his mystic suit have the answers he needs about what lies beyond and about the mysteries kept from him by his own father? Christos Gage (STORMWATCH: PHD, Avengers: The Initiative) and Stephen Segovia (Wolverine) provide a look inside one of the DCU's most peculiar Super Heroes in this standalone one-shot!
This comic does a nice job of encapsulating the Ragman, explaining who he is, and defining him for future use. It's a fine origin tale for both Ragman and the new reader. It embraces the approachability that should come with being a one-shot comic book. Sure, it could have used a little more action and adventure, but Gage settles into this character with this issue and I cannot help but think this is just the beginning of a further exploration of this one-time member of the "Shadowpact." I have nothing to base that on, save the same hope that Rory's father had when he opened his shop in America. Ragman is one of the rare gems of the DC Universe that needs a little more panel time in order to be a little more recognized and appreciated. A one-shot is a nice start for that. More please.
