Matt Wagner's mystery surrounding The Spirit's disappearance, one that has been unfolding since this series began, seems to be reaching its final stages. I for one cannot wait to find out what exactly happened, and I really hope that this fantastic creative team is kept on for more stories in the future. I've said it before and I'll say it again: you need to be reading The Spirit. Read Full Review
Will Eisner's The Spirit #5 is a damn good comic. It has excellent storytelling, great and innovative artwork, and extremely innovative lettering. If this book isn't up for an Eisner award next year, I will be extremely surprised. Each issue one ups itself, continuing to improve and get better. You need to be reading this one. Read Full Review
The series looks like it's close to wrapping up its first arc and it's hitting some good points here with the way it's unfolding. Bigger stories are percolating in the background, The Spirit is back, and we get to see the forward progress of other characters in the series. This installment lets the Octopus take center stage for a good chunk of it and that has a whole lot going for it in a way that's hard to describe. One of the draws for the book continues to be the way Wagner just captures the dialogue of the time and these kinds of stories so well and coupling that with the rich artwork from Schkade takes it up several notches from there. Great stuff all around. Read Full Review

Still leaving plenty of story to be told, the issue gives us the Spirit using his detective (and intimidation) skills to find his missing friends as well as a confrontation between our hero and his most hated adversary. I'm curious to see where the series goes from here. Worth a look. Read Full Review
