This story introduces a new character to the Complex City cast. His
name is Crazy Quilt. He is a mix of Batman and of Shadowhawk. Unlike
other comics though, Jeff doesn't do first person introduction of the
character. Everything revolves around other people that met him or want
to. We get a lot of Bulldog Malone in this issue, continuing off the story
from the first two issues. Some stuff I didn't think that would get
revealed did, which was nice. We also get introduced to new characters
in here as well. I generally liked how Jeff made a Crazy Quilt researcher, he
didn't follow the typical stereotypes. All in all, a fun comic to read.
Jeff gives us a few "Wow!" shots this issue. In particular are two
double page splashes featuring close ups. Wide screen comics have
been a buzz since Dillion started doing them in Preacher. You don't get much
more wide screen than this, unless you print it on larger paper. Jeff also
packs a good enough sized story in here as well, using some 9 panel grids
to move the story along. He also does a two page text bit, similar to what
Terry Moore does in Strangers in Paradise from time to time. Anyhow,
this is an all around enjoyable comic. Too this is the last issue Diamond will
distribute. If you want to get the next one tell your retailer to order it
from Cold Cut. There is also a chance that the whole series will be put
out in a Trade Paper Format. I hope that's the case as it's the format to
publish in now and days.
