The Dragons of the Cuyahoga / S. Andrew Swann.
Top 10. Beyond the farthest precinct / Paul Di Filippo, writer ; Jerry Ordway, artist ; Wendy Broome
Wildcats version 3.0 : Full disclosure / writer, Joe Casey ; penciler, Dustin Nguyen ; inker, Richar
Wildcats version 3.0 : Brand Building / writer, Joe Casey ; penciler, Dustin Nguyen ; inker, Richard
Back to front this time.
WILDC.A.T.S. (capitalization and punctuation dependent on what series they were in) seems to have ended its complete run with these two collections. Unfortunately, the 12 issues were largely have been prequel to whatever plot the authors were actually imagining. Probably interesting only to people who were already interested in the Daemonite/Kheran War which, they swear, had nothing to do with the Skrulls or the Shi'ar.
Top 10: no longer written by Alan Moore, and it shows. Not actually bad, so much as tasteless... something like being told the plot by someone who read it a long time ago, and then discovering that the book doesn't add any complexity to what you've already heard.
Dragons of the Cuyahoga: so the Portal to magic-world opens up in Cleveland, and a few years later things seem to be settling down. Just then (or in the first chapter) a senior dragon is murdered. Enter our cagey journalist protagonist! Follow the clues around Cleveland! Disbelieve in Toledo! The voice is almost as snarky, if marginally less beaten-upon, as Harry Dresden. The big plot pretty much makes sense... so do all the twists along the way. Wraps up pretty well.
