A bit on the fence with how things wrapped up here. While it did seem "realistic" it was done in a way that made it seem like it was wrapping it up too nicely (trying to be too "realistic"?) - having said that somehow it didn't really give me that satisfying chomp at the end. Or maybe it was just that halfway through I found myself getting a little annoyed at Warner and his whole shizbang way of achieving his ends. But I suppose that is part of the premise of this title - superheroes as a job title/paid police force and less of an altruistic shtick (and scrapping by to make ends meet to boot - which brought to mind a Nicolas Nassem Taleb article about being a gentleman on the treadmill).

I still like the art style though.

I enjoyed this. The storyline is intriguing and the art was great. I had a little trouble keeping the characters straight - I wished the "confidential files" had been at the beginning of the story rather than at the end. It helped a lot in terms of who was who and with backstory as well. I knew little about Chicago history, but this was a great blend of history, crime, thriller, and drama. I'm looking forward to reading the next installment.… (mehr)
