Jack knows it all. He's a real damn detective, not just a washed up 90s super-hero. But will he be able to accept a truth that will change the way he thinks about himself, his powers, his family, and the crappy town he's chosen to protect? More importantly, will he able to escape the literal tidal wave rolling down Main Street?

    The stakes here are not world-endingthey are family-ending and that hurts even more. I still do not know if I understand the mindset behind some rather drastic character choices, but with one more issue to go, I hope that can be cleared up. Read Full Review

    This comic reminded me of the feeling I had when reading Brubaker's "Sleeper" or Tom King's "Vision": the certainty that I was encountering something special, a sleeper hit that will make me eagerly follow all future works by an author. Tim Seeley and Tony Fleecs, if they play their cards right, have a future classic on their hands.

    Crossjack is the Tom Jones of superhero comics. (The Henry Fielding character, not the singer.)
