 Fell #5 (2005) $4.00 Quantity
VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
Written by Warren Ellis, art and cover by Ben Templesmith. The detectives of Moon Street Precinct House, the sole police presence in the collapsing district of Snowtown, aren't getting anywhere. They've been questioning a murder suspect all night, and have to cut him loose in an hour. And then the new guy asks to take a crack: Richard Fell, recently transferred in from over the bridge. He's got an hour to break a killer. But the killer has an unknown advantage: the police failed to frisk him properly, and he has a concealed weapon with him there in the locked interview room... Available May 17th 2006 BONUS REVIEW by W. DAL BUSH I keep forgetting there are two Warren Ellises (Ellisi? A pride of Ellis?) working in comics. One churns out heartless and uninvolving superhero comics that he clearly couldn't care less about, the other sinks his teeth into stuff he loves and just kills. Stuff like Fell. This time Good Ellis uses a story format that keeps TV afloat with shows like The Shield, The Closer and thirteen different Law & Order spin-offs: the interrogation room. Just two people in a room, one trying to get the other to confess to something they don't want to confess to. When done well, like this issue, it's cracking good drama that doesn't need spandex, Nazis or rayguns to tell a good story. Eat it, Berg! I give it 9 Grahams out of 10. VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
