In the dead of winter, during a nasty snowstorm, a routine homicide investigation takes a literary twist. A suspected drug dealer is found dead, naked and with what seems to be part of a larger story written all over his body. This is the beginning of the serial killing spree dubbed by the press as the 'The Writer.' Detectives Sam Burke and Twitch Williams, helped by graphologist Charlotte Garland, have to discover the truth and end the literary nightmare that has descended, like the snow, upon the city.
I have to say I am glad I picked this up. I know we've been seeing more "crime" comics lately but this was a fun read. This is a pure cop story. Sam and Twitch may have their roots from the Spawn comic but this is a believable cop story. Part of what I like is I didn't know what the premise would be and I don't know where the story will go. If you're looking for a temporary break from superhero books, this is worth a read. Read Full Review
A great detective story about the best cops from the Spawn universe. I will continue to read this series with great interest.
