Sometimes, you come across books where they look like the only company that has its act together. Occasionally, there are hints of the future of comics, like crossovers or the Ray's sleek design. Other times, you get content like Doll Man, so shoddy that it's hard to believe that the company survived to be bought out by DC, who quickly forgot about everything but <b>Blackhawk</b>. Also, everybody knows their Senator, in this universe, either as a close friend or a mortal enemy. And there was that time when criminals formed their own state where they could legally do crime.<br /><br />Anyway, I do like how Mr. Hôtelier's pitch is "an arbitrarily large number of diamond merchants die under suspicious circumstances while in my care, and the police won't even listen to how much it inconveniences <i>me</i>." The dolt is lucky they didn't arrest him for the murders.John Chttps://john.colagioia.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-16643390555647701282021-06-09T04:35:10.297-05:002021-06-09T04:35:10.297-05:00Maybe it's actually called "The City.&quo...Maybe it's actually called "The City."
