BONUS REVIEW by GARY OWENS
I read two Vertigo comics this week (both for mature readers), and actually liked both of them. Go figure. This one caught my eye because I scored the first issue as a freebie at Wizard World: Chicago last weekend. I browsed through it then, thought it interesting. Didn’t know what to expect from this issue, but actually it was well worth it, and it explains the idea for the comic (I’ll give you a hint; look at the title). And it had a riveting mini mobster story in the middle, to help break things apart. Highly suggested.
