This is more like #30-something, but Oeming and Bendis took some time off and came back with a new #1. I don't think making money is the point, although Bendis writes so many books these days he has to be making a lot anyway. The reason this book is so great is mainly because of the letters page. It's five pages long. This month it features an interview with a blogger that reviews comics. It also has letters that are ripped apart by Bendis. And it has descriptions of things Bendis is writing and things Bendis is reading or listening to these days. The comic itself isn't half as good, but it's dark and interesting. The plot has a superhero cop investigating murders that deal with superheroes. Did I mention it's dark? The art is extremely sloppy, but I'm used to it by now. The story here has Walker remembering the past when he was in a psuedo-Rat Pack full of superheroes that won WW2. Why does he not remember everything, though? And the daughter of a superhero killed her stepfather because he was a rapist. Maybe the book should just be a letters page. **1/2 (out of ****)
