If you love comic books and I mean love the medium not just superheroes, then there is no reason you shouldn't be reading this series. The creative team is perfectly balanced and show why comic books are an amazing medium. Sure a story like this could easily be adapted, but then you would lose Martin's art which is the breath of life into the entire story. I'm very impressed how quickly these issues are coming out and that they're basically released when they're ready meaning that they can hit at any time, as was the case with this issue. Do yourself a big favor and head over to PanelSyndicate.com and buy all three or at the very least download them for a price of nothing and see what you're missing out on and then consider supporting the creators. The better the support the better this model will do and I think it's proven to be successful when your product is worth the purchase. Read Full Review
The more original a story, the easier it is for it to stands on its own standard, and for this Vaughan and Martin's story, the standard is very high indeed. Read Full Review
This was definitely the most disturbing and graphically violent issue so far, and Marcos Martin draws all of that in such a sophisticated and detailed way one can't help but think of the amount of work involved in the making of this comic. From masks to shootouts, everything is gorgeous. Colorist Munsta Vincente once again shoots vibrant powerful colors at you, they can be a bit overwhelming, but overall they fit the story's tone in surprising ways. Read Full Review

P.I. is a detective hero for the internet age. Hiding in the backgrounds are posters declaring "Free Assange" and searches and keywords are the detectives' tools as much as stakeouts and interrogations. Even as other people hide behind complicated masks, disguising their true identities as they do something as simple as riding the bus, P.I.'s sole mask is some black face paint, striped across his eyes. It's less a mask and more a symbol, a black bar over a face like on television used to protect someone's identity but it hides nothing here. Maybe P.I. is the one man in all of Los Angeles with nothing to hide. In The Private Eye #3, Vaughan and Martin speculate on what the post-internet age will look like and it looks a lot like an old 1950s movie where a femme fatale could knock on a door and a unwitting sap would be pulled into the mystery of his lifetime.
