The Weekly Crisis - Ryan Schrodt
Nov 20, 2010This is another great issue for The Spirit, which continues to flourish under the watchful eyes of David Hine and Moritat. They spin a fun, but somewhat shallow mystery in the midst of a larger and more satisfying plot that I think has some real potential. When you add in a solid blackandwhite backup from the legendary Walt Simonson and equallyaslegendary Jordi Bernet, you've got a really solid issue that is worth a purchase in spite of needing some polish in all aspects.

Razorfine - Alan Rapp
Nov 21, 2010Aside from the cover (ugh, can we get rid of these "First Wave" bars at the top and bottom, please!), there's much to enjoy here. David Hine has gotten better over the series and here seems to have gotten the tone and humor of the character just right, and the art by Moritat proves to be seductive, humorous (I love the Sprit's smirk!), and a little bit naughty. The comic also includes another b&w Spirit adventure by Walt Simonson. Worth a look. Read Full Review
