Midnight Cruising

(For those of you who missed this post, I'm reposting it... -ed)

I It's not often I change my mind about a book. As I'm sure you can guess, from working here I have a nice size pull list, and an even bigger buy pile every week. So many times I won't put a book on my pull until after I pick up a few issues. I guess this is just a holdover from my youth.

It's weird, I think what may have made my mind up on this one is The Boys getting cancelled. While I had been getting Midnighter, The Boys was just so much better that I was really considering dropping it all together. And I am really glad I didn't. The fifth issue just came out this past week and it really capped off the first story arc well. I really recomend picking this thing up. I think both Ennis and Sprouse have really found their feet on this character and not only the types of stories that they can do with him, but also the types of unexpected resolutions they can try. It's incredibly, elegantly, suddenly violent, which is really what you want out a Midnighter book, isn't it? Look for a trade paper back this summer if you haven't been picking up the issues.
