Review by Joe Clifford
A mixed-media love letter to the golden age of comics and the classic detective story.
Author Andrez Bergen takes you behind the scenes to Heropa, a pulp fiction fortress of solitude, where crime-fighting team, the Equalizers, led by new recruit Jack (AKA Southern Cross), investigates dirty city streets to undercover a glitch in the system that is allowing immortals to die. With nods to Batman and the Avengers, and tips of the fedora to Chandler and Hammett, Who Is Killing...? is unlike any mystery you’ve ever read. Highly stylized and forever cool — like if Rorschach had been allowed to just gumshoe and smoke, without any giant blue dongs slapping you in the face to shatter the illusion.
