BONUS REVIEW by GARY OWENS
Michael Avon Deming, writer and artist, must have had this story queued for a while, since it’s deep, involved, and thought provoking. It answers the question on how The Spirit fits into the big picture, as the Spirit tries to handle a gang war without turning the city into a war zone (with him wearing a bull’s-eye on his chest). Complicated, practical, meaningful, and with less dames than your normal comic (for those who have to watch their skinny girl intake), it ends with a nice twist that could impact future adventures for The Spirit. For those who wonder how Batman could solve issues if he and the Commish wasn’t so intense: try this one on for size.
