posies23's review against another edition

This is a collection of the CRIME BIBLE miniseries that spun out of DC's event series 52. It folllows up on several storylines that started in that series (and the amazing GOTHAM CENTRAL series before that.)
The series follows Renee Montoya as she investigates the mysterious "Crime Bible" and the cult that has sprung up around it. There's some fun mythology here, and Rucka's dialogue and characterization is strong (as usual) but the whole thing feels like a build up to some big event that (as far as I know) was never really followed up on after Rucka left DC. As a result, it's a bit of a letdown. Worth reading for Renee Montoya fans and Rucka fans, but I don't think others would get much out of it.

I'm a fan of the Question, but I'm not at all crazy about this version. It's not a bad collection, but I think I would have enjoyed it more with the original Question.

Not my favorite Question (I find the "religion of crime" a little silly), but the story's a requirement for the development of the Renee Montoya Question after Vic's death during the 52 stuff; not sure how much of the status quo of what's established here got changed for the New 52, but this is good stuff and complicates the character in a deep and interesting way - flawed heroes are always better, no?

The art I could take it or leave it (it was a little uneven, at times) but character studies perfectly interlaced with action-packed and intriguing stories are my favorite thing. Greg Rucka, as usual, does not disappoint.
