I read some of the CrossGen comics when they were new, so I was interested to see what Marvel did with the CrossGen titles they acquired. (I know I read Scion and Ruse, plus others, but can't remember all of the titles I read.)

I enjoyed this re-boot of the Ruse comics. My biggest complaint with the originals was that they didn't have enough volumes in the series, and that there was no satisfying conclusion to them. This fixes that. While I would still be happy to read more in this series, at least the four volumes that Marvel released have a satisfying ending.

The art is enjoyable, though—since it deals with murder mysteries—it can get bloody at times. In general, the story and the art were both what I was hoping for based on my memory of the original Ruse series. These are a lot of fun, and I'm glad I found them. ( )
