‘Knight of Vengeance’ is very good work, a beautifully assembled comic that just happened to leave me cold.

‘First Wave’ features a curious mash-up of DC heroes (including a gun-toting Batman) and pulp characters (Doc Savage), as well as throwing in the Spirit for good measure. The first issue is passable, but not terribly exciting.

A messy pulp.
