last will

Photobucket

If Brad Meltzer wanted to, he good quit his job as a novelist and devote all of his time to writing comics. His latest the one-shot Final Crisis tie-in, Last Will and Testament, is one of the best single issues of any comic published this year. The confrontation between Geo-Force and Deathstroke is so profound and deeply human that it could stand up to Oscar winners and classic novels for pure gravitas. It’s books like this that are finally helping the comic medium rise above its “kids stuff” stigma. Who cares about the funny costumes? These are real human moments..
