Tom King and Greg Smallwood manage to make an engaging JLI reunion and a gripping noir both work in the same book, which is a tough sell. Smallwood's art is gorgeous -- the pencils are reminiscent of comics' most iconic noir book, Criminal, but Smallwood's color palette is brighter, more grounded in superhero storytelling. Combined with King's fantastic ability to capture and complicate the spirit of these characters and really sell the bleak noir tone through his hero's narration, and you've got something really special here.
