In Central City, Denny and Cliff, AKA The Spirit and The Rocketeer, are on the trail of a deviously dangerous, glove-wearing foe-but will they be able to unravel the web of mystery and intrigue they have become embroiled in? Find out in the grand finale of Pulp Friction, as two timeless characters finally discover the truth... or do they? Bonus! What happens to our hapless heroines, Betty and Ellen?
All in all, however, its hard to find any major fault worth complaining about. The potential for future cross-over events is always there but, as a one-off, this is more than enough for now. Read Full Review
Writing and art are great as always, but what else could you expect? Mark Waid's excellent dialogue is really a blast to read and an art in itself to write well. The art also keeps the books tone pulpy yet sophisticated with a slightly more cartoonish look to it than some other comic books these days. Read Full Review
Pulp Friction has been a flat out fun ride. Waid has a great handle on both characters and gives them both plenty to do. Pulp can be gritty and pulp can be fun, but Waid has found a pretty good balance for this series. Waid and J.

The storyline ends with a hint of another possible team-up between the pair which I would certainly be up for (although next time maybe we could stick with a single artist to give the story a more consistent look?). I'd also love for DC to actually give The Spirit new life of his own in an ongoing title, but I won't hold my breath for either to happen anytime soon. Worth a look. Read Full Review
