Will Eisner's "The Spirit" The New Adventures, #5


Spirit: The New Adventures #5

The Spirit gets drawn into a murder case that’s a little too much like the films Body Heat and Against All Odds. When a wealthy doctor with a shady past is found dead, it’s up to Spirit and Dolan to weed out prospective patients for the true culprit.

Like I said, the plot has been done to death (forgive the pun) in many film noir pictures. There’s also quite a bit of adult themes, double entendres and sex. It’s not for kids.
One of the more serious takes on Will Eisner’s classic character. Very enjoyable but not 100% what I was expecting either and that’s coming from someone who thought the Frank Miller film was oversexed.

Worth Consuming

Rating: 9 out of 10 stars
