I love the art and the atmosphere of this series. The lead this time around was kind of a sad sack, but my heart went out to him.
Volume 2 remains my favorite, but I still look forward to reading more stories in this nostalgic, original series. ( )

A successful mixture of hard-boiled detective and superhero genres. Steeljack is a low-grade super-criminal who has just sprung jail. A number of 'black masks' from his area have been killed recently and he reluctantly agrees to try to find the murderer. ( )

Another great book in the Astro City series. Tarnished Angel is the story of Carl, a recent paroley that wants to go straight. He gets hired by the residents of Keifer Square to try and stop the murder of black masks, what you or I would know as super vilains. The title refers to Carl himself who is also known as Steel Jacket and sees being a hero as being an Angel. The illustrations are spot on and just gorgeous, and the mystery is well written. I just love this series and can't wait to read the next one. ( )
