Meanwhile, Ebony and Sammy manage to find a lead to tracking down the mysterious assassin sent by Vaas, the cold-blooded Pinky Fingers. The explosive finale is coming... one that might change The Spirit's world forever! This sensational revival of Will Eisner's iconic hero is brought to you by the creative talents of legmore
With the pursuit of the assassin really as the main story here, and we do get closure there, it's the supporting elements that worked better for me. Pinky Fingers certainly isn't bad and there are neat moments that Schkade gets to bring to life in a great way with the action element of it, but I was more intrigued by his work with the Jive Spot and all that it entails, as well as the time with Ellen and The Spirit together. There are a lot of wheels in motion in pursuit of Vaas that are going on here and it really works well as even a quiet issue like this pushes a lot of things forward while expanding the scope of events at the same time. Wagner and Schkade continue to delight here and I'm hopeful for a lengthy relationship between the two based on this series. Read Full Review
This book is just so consistently good - the plotting, art, and characters are always fantastic. Unfortunately there are only two issues left in this story, but I cant wait to see how it ends. Hopefully the creative team reunites for a follow up soon. Highly recommended!
