Ben Chambers is a private investigator at the end of his career, an arc best viewed through the bottom of a whiskey bottle. He has investigated missing persons, adulterous lovers, embezzling partners...and none of it has ever meant anything. None of it has ever changed anything. So Ben looks at his life now and wonders, what was it all for, really? He resignedly takes on one last case, investigating the unsolved murder of corporate CEO Jason Black's son, an Iraq veteran killed shortly after an anti-war rally.

Not crammed into a single issue, the story has space for these fancy flourishes, which make me excited for what's to come. Read Full Review
Guiu Vilanova's imagery is very fitting for this story, displaying a dark sense of ambiguity that just gnaws at you as things begin to unfold. Cold trails bring about spectral evidence that not only points Chambers in the right direction, but ensures that I will be coming back for the next issue. Read Full Review
I might review the next issue, but I'll definitely be back to review the conclusion. The story isn't bad enough to stop reading, but it's definitely not the grand finale that anyone was expecting after the first two arcs. Time will tell though. Read Full Review
Okay Straczynski; your anti-war liberal bias certainly shines through here. First, do your homework; Marine officers are not enlisted, and a Marine who served honorably wouldn't be caught dead leading an anti-war rally against his country. Why anybody would want to be like this traitor is beyond me. A far contrast from issues 5-8 which were brilliant. I think Straczynski himself is now living in the Twilight Zone. DROP!
