There were a lot of reasons why this issue stood out. First off it was forty pages for $3.99, a steal in this new era of $3.99 20 page books. Second, it was awesome. Michael Avon Oeming was born to draw gangsters and crime. His art has never looked better. And the story by Bendis is one hell of an idea. What if the mob won? What if they've taken over a big chunk of America and rule while the politicians and cops stay outside their zone? On top of that, there's a killer reveal at the end. Everything just clicked. The book was engrossing and entertaining and dark and wild and interesting and dramatic. How every first issue should be; delivering the goods then making you wishing you could read #2 asap.
