this is truly a phenomenal book. I’m a sucker for a mystery and love story’s so this was great. not to mention my favorite underused charecter Ted Kords Blue Beetle was in this and done well I thought. Bring back Ted Kord
Yeah this was incredible. Especially the art... sublime. Something I really love about detective stories in comics is the fantastical elements. It just makes it so much fun.
