The concept just grabs me, and after reading Brubaker's work on Gotham Central the idea seemed even more appealing. I haven't read the full blog because I don't want anything given away!! Hoping Santa Claus can fit the four trades down my chimney this Holiday.

If your a crime noir fan you just have to read this! The only little problem i had with the book was it's intergration in the Wildstorm universe. The superheroes that you see sometimes (in the background) just seemed out of place. But this is a really minor point :) I can't remember exactly but didn't they stop using the flasback origin stories in the second TPB? I found these introductions very original and just fun to read.

I agree that Sleeper is another top notch book, as a fan of noir I really got into the series, loved the characters and the story grabbed me from the get go. Though in some ways, I think the Point Blank, was even more noir, down to the starting just as the protagonist looked like was gonna buy it, and flashing back to how he got there. Speaking of Sleeper I’m reminded that I never got around to reading the final volume, I bought it but I had a lot of other stuff going on at the time and sorta forgot about it.
