Mark Waid produces a comic book tour de force that seamlessly feels like two separate stories. When a team up book like this is assembled, showing how the heroes meet can either make or break the story.
The aftermath of a mysterious Central City death reaches Los Angeles and traumatizes Cliff Secord’s main squeeze, Betty.
The Spirit goes on a road trip to investigate the matter and finds himself in aerial combat with The Rocketeer. The moments leading up to their introduction fits like a glove as old friends forge new alliances.
Paul Smith’s artwork does a phenomenal job of making the book feel like something out of the 1950’s. In a world where the majority of top comics article storylines that have world ending odds, it’s nice to read a well put together mystery that is a little more grounded in real world affairs while peaking our imagination to the fullest. In other words, it’s all out fun and a must buy.
Grade: A+
