52 AFTERMATH: CRIME BIBLE - FIVE LESSONS OF BLOOD #1
Written by Greg Rucka
Art by Tom Mandrake
Can we have a few more subtitles for this book? I don't think the title is long enough yet. All joking aside, this was a fairly good start to the Crime Bible mini-series. I like the art and that cover is incredible.
However, the opening pages were just a wall of text with the excerpt from the Crime Bible and those crazy cultists followed up by the boring author's spiel. I thought I was going to have to just put the book down, to be honest. When Montoya (I refuse to call her the Question) finally shows up, the pace and tone of the book gets so much better.
Not sure where Rucka is going with this mini-series though, as the issue reads almost like a one shot with a rather definitive ending to this little mystery issue. I'm sure we'll see more of the cult from the opening pages in the following chapters though, but this issue feels like a throw away one-shot or filler at this point in time.
Verdict - Check It.
