Identity Crisis

Tomorrow, the next issue of one of the best comic books out there right now comes out. That book is Identity Crisis. Some of you heard me talk about it before. It's written by mystery novelist Brad Meltzer and illustrated by Rags Morales. It deals with the problem of having a secret, or public, identity, and what happens when people take advantage of it.

There was a lot of hype for this title before it was released, and I feel it lives up to it. This, my friends, is a good comic book. Sure, it has it's share of controversy, bringing rape into the world of Superman and Batman, and bringing classic heroes of the Silver Age to a new darker level, but it's not the first controversy to hit the comic medium. It will eventually be released in hardcover form, next year, for those of you who are curious. Or if you ask me nicely, and you don't have greasy fingers, you could borrow the issues I have.

Note: Since this is a DC title and not a Marvel title, there is no Wolverine. Thank fucking God.
