Excellent Post-Crisis, OYL Story

The Spectre is set after the harrowing events of Infinite Crisis and is one of the books launched coinciding with the "One Year Later" releases. While many of the OYL books have been good to bad, this book is one of the few that is great. But since it was released without much fanafare it is easy to let this great book get lost in the Post-Crisis, 52, OYL shuffle.

This book is split into two story arcs...the first is written by Will Pfeifer (H-E-R-O, Amazons Attack) and illustrated by Cliff Chiang. The first arc features deceased Det. Crispus Allen coming to terms with his new duty as the Spectre and coming to terms with his death. We see Allen travelling in his spectral form, going to see his family, watching evil acts being committed and even follows Batman to the batcave in order to find out his identity. And most importantly, Allen fianlly gets closure as his death is avenged but there is a twist there at the end. An excellent read.

The second arc is written by David Lapham (City of Crime, Stray Bullets) and illustrated by Eric Battle (Batman). A grisly death has taken place in a tenement in Gotham City and the Specter AKA Det. Allen has to punish the guilty party responsible. But even after dishing out Spectre brand justice, Allen sticks aorund to watch the other tenants in that building because they all have their own stories to tell. A good read. And by the way, Eric Battle draws a scary lookin' Spectre.

The stories included in this collection are excellent Spectre stories that show the Spectre in an interesting light, something that we haven't seen done in a while. Yes, he is the avenging spirit but then again he is tethered to a human host who has his own story to tell.
