Identity Crisis
by
One of darkest and best DC comics I've ever read.
The death of an hero's wife.
The death of ideals.
The death of a dream.
This and much more in this amazing murder mistery tale, and the ending is going to shock you for good. Twice.
Never read about Elongated Man before buying this hardback in a comics-buying-rampage at a convention here in Rome last month, but in a few pages the author made me love poor Ralph and Sue (ok, she was another DC "woman in refrigerator" plot-device like Kyle Rayner/Green Lantern's girlfriend, but a real well made one) Dibny... before punching hard and low this reader.
Loved how the "Trinity" was just in the background while things and League crumbled down, strong in their mythical aura.
Loved the brutal badass fight of Deathstroke against everyone.
The perversion of Dr. Light here was a real shock for me... so different from the one in "Teen Titans Go" cartoons I use to watch with my little daughter.
Michael Turner's covers were just awesome and I'm not going to forget that look on the face of Tim Drake for loooonng time.
A gut-wrenching surprising read.
If you are a fan of Watchman give a try to this one too: you are going to like it very much.

Non mi riferisco alla Marvel di adesso XD

Io la vedo molto più ispirata a Watchmen... la Marvel non mi ricordo proprio abbia mai inserito stupri così espliciti come avviene qua.
