This has got to be one of the worst Greg Rucka books I've ever encountered. It's just so muddled throughout and at least 2 issues too long. The first issue is quite decent. Still muddled but there is a bit of a wow factor going on to distract from the incoherence. We've got two of the best characters from the GCPD in Crispus Allen and Renee Montoya - one dead and resurrected as the Spectre and the other resigned from the police department and now fighting crime as The Question. We've got Philip Tan's art, spectacularly coloured and empowered by computer enhanced graphic wizardry - dynamic and fizzing off the page as it lights the action. And there is some good action in the first issue. But then we get three issues of Vandal Savage, The Spectre and anybody dumb enough to get into spear range with them, standing about posturing and debating the will of god, theologizing endlessly and often contradictory diatribes about vengeance, mercy, redemption etc, punctuated every so often by Vandal Savage (or Cain as he's depicted here) skewering somebody with his mighty spear. The climax is a muddled resolve that sort of works but to be honest I stopped caring an issue or two earlier.

DC Comics Version of the Book of Revelations
18 Jan 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
In this episode of the Final Crisis series, the Crispus Allen returns as the Spectre, expecting to deliver punishment in God's name but learning his purpose for being is much grander than he'd ever known. Readers who believed the Spectre's purpose was limited, especially after reading of the character in the Countdown to Infinite Crisis series, will feel compelled to read and learn about his destiny as well as his fate. Kudos to DC Comics for injecting familiar yet lesser known characters (the Batwoman, Huntress, and the Question) into the storyline.

Solidly Mediocre
26 Nov 2010
Format:Paperback
I don't care much for superhero comics. I'm not 12. I grew up. You are going to have to do more with your characters than have them beat each other up. This one has a little more going for it. THere's some angst. There's a conspiracy of Darksied followers trying to subdue the Spectre and there's a whole lot more angst. Apparently he had to kill his son who was only taking retribution for his original death.
That's about all I remember. Beyond that, you got a whole lot of angst and people looking constipated. I'm sure Final Crisis is better or different but I don't think I want ot buy it.
